Shun Dual Core Utility / Butchery Knife bridges the gap between a chef's knife and a paring knife. making it the perfect tool for all those in-between tasks. Whether you're trimming green beans. slicing cured meats. or preparing sandwiches. this versatile 6-inch utility knife delivers precision and control for jobs that require more finesse than a chef's knife can offer. but more reach than a paring knife provides.

This unique blade is crafted using Shun's revolutionary Dual Core construction—71 alternating micro-layers of premium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels. Roll-forged and hot-forged into a stunning herringbone Damascus pattern. the blade is engineered for lasting sharpness. strength. and beauty. As the blade wears over time. micro serrations naturally form along the edge. helping the knife retain its sharpness longer than traditional blades. The etched lamination pattern not only enhances its aesthetics but also reduces drag. allowing for cleaner. faster slicing.

The traditional Japanese octagonal handle is made from ebony PakkaWood. offering a secure and ergonomic grip while resisting moisture and bacteria. Light. strong. and razor-sharp. this knife brings superior performance to any kitchen task from slicing fruits and vegetables to breaking down proteins with precision.
