Shun – Classic White Utility Knife 15cm

Shun Knives from Japan has a heritage aligned to Seki City – the home of the Samurai warriors. Shun’s Classic White collection is ideal for anyone starting to use Japanese knives. Produced in a variety of styles, the Classic White collection features both traditional European blade shapes and innovative cutting-edge designs. Shun Classic White’s sharp blade is famous for both edge retention and ease of sharpening. Each blade has a core of VG-MAX super steel clad with 34 layers of pattern Damascus Steel on each side. While the patterned layers enhance the knife’s beauty, they also support the core and add stain resistance. Combined with the elegant, slim tapered handle in blonde pakkawood, the result is an aesthetic design with quality and functionality at its core.

The Shun Classic Blonde Utility Knife is multipurpose with a narrow, straight blade for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed. Trimming green beans, cutting cauliflower florets, cutting sandwiches in half—all well suited to the Shun Classic Blonde Utility Knife. Its slightly curved belly enhances moderate rocking cuts. It’s nimble enough to peel an onion in hand, then slice it. Utility knives are sometimes referred to as `sandwich knives’ because they work well on fillings – from thin-skinned vegetables – to meats and cheeses.
