Combining the nimbleness of a utility knife with the versatile capabilities of a chef’s knife, this beautiful knife from Shun is a versatile addition to any cutlery collection. Made with VG MAX steel, the blade of this knife boasts excellent edge retention and resists corrosion thanks to the high carbon content. The blade also boasts a unique, hammered finish that makes food release from the blade so you can prep vegetables and meats with ease. The handle of this knife is crafted from pakkawood that is contoured for comfort and looks handsome sticking out of a knife block.
The brand name Shun comes from the Japanese culinary tradition of “shun.” Shun is a time—the exact moment when fruit is perfectly ripe, a vegetable is at its best, or meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time. The Shun name honors this tradition of seasonal, mindful eating and is a mark of their dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.
