Shun – Premier Utility Knife 15cm

Shun Knives from Japan has a heritage aligned to Seki City – the home of the Samurai warriors. Shun’s Premier collection calls to mind the hand-forged knives of those ancient times. Each knife takes 100 handcrafted steps to complete with materials, which are the most advanced in the industry with a cutting core of VG-MAX and layered Damascus cladding to provide additional stain resistance. The hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag and the contoured walnut-coloured PakkaWood handles are ergonomically designed, so it feels beautiful in the hand.

A good utility knife is the third member of your essential knives. The Shun Premier Utility Knife is in between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, making it the perfect size for all those in-between tasks. Use it to trim green beans, broccoli, and other tasks, which call for precision. . Any time a paring knife seems like too small and a chef’s knife too big, reach for a utility knife. The Shun Premier Utility Knife offers a razor-sharp edge that also makes quick work of anything that goes in a sandwich—meats, cheeses, tomato slices, and more. That specialised use is why this style of knife is sometimes called a sandwich knife. You’ll also love the secure grip, which the ambidextrous Premier contoured handle provides.
