Additional Information
The Shun Classic 6" Utility Knife is designed to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks with precision and ease. Its compact size and versatile blade make it perfect for tasks that require precise cuts, such as trimming smaller vegetables like broccoli and green beans.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the knife boasts a hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade made from a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core and 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side.
