## Description

Product Description Add one of the top 3 must-have kitchen knives to your collection with the Shun Classic 6-inch Ultimate Utility Knife. This cooking knife features an unusually wide blade with a rounded tip perfect for spreading mayo. Low-frequency serrations on the blade are ideal for slicing delicate, thin-skinned fruits and vegetables or working like a bread knife to cut a sandwich in half without tearing. Utility knives are also called sandwich knives because they work well for almost every task involved in making a sandwich – from cutting thin-skinned vegetables like tomatoes to preparing meats and cheeses. The Classic Utility Knife is constructed with Shun's proprietary VG-Max cutting core with 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding for a strong, corrosion-resistant, stain-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree edge that glides through food. The D-shaped, ebony-finished Pakkawood handle is durable, beautiful, comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, and doesn't harbor bacteria. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool -- it's a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world. desertcart.com The scalloped-edge, six-inch blade on this Shun Classic knife is so sharp it slices effortlessly through everything from a soft tomato to a crusty loaf of bread. Add the rounded tip for spreading mayonnaise, and the Ultimate Utility becomes the ultimate sandwich-maker that every kitchen needs. Not only does the knife work hard, it looks stunning, from the shiny black handle to the shimmering ripples on the Damascus-style blade. Already gift-boxed, this knife will be hard to give away. Shun knives, made in Japan by KAI (Kershaw Cutlery), are quite possibly the sharpest knives on the market. The acute 16 degree angle of Shun edges won't bend or waver due to the hardness of the VG-10 steel core used in their construction. Clad with 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel (16 on each side), the blades resist rusting and maintain their razor edge for a considerable time. The handles are made of a resin and hardwood fusion known as PakkaWood, and form a "D" or slight tear-drop profile with a side ridge that most comfortably fits a right-handed user. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun knives are dishwasher-safe, but are best cared for when washed and dried--carefully--by hand. --Ann Bieri

Review: Can't wait to buy several more Shun Knives - Of all the products I've purchased on desertcart (and I'm obsessive about buying things here) this is by FAR my favorite purchase.i've been wavering back and forth between the Shun's and the Wusthofs for a while and the price of the Shun was enough to keep me from pulling the trigger. I decided to just take a chance and buy the Sandwich knife as it seemed the most universally applicable of the set. I'm not fully ambidextrous but I do many things with my left hand and others with my right. Having a left handed knife was a dream (and it just so happens my wife is fully left handed so that was convenient). I'll say though that I've tried cutting with both hands and it's not a problem. The packaging is nice, light cardboard but an item I can't really describe other than a placement holder. Since I just bought one knife this time, I received just one box. The knife is light but in no way feels cheap. I started just trying it out, slicing tomatoes and a few other vegetables. It's not worth posting pictures but the thinness I was able to slice these things to was just shocking. It took virtually no pressure, you just place the blade on the item and move it back and forth. I moved on to trying to cut some beef for stir fry. Again, just like the vegetables it was extremely easy and you could cut things with a precision I haven't experienced before. Then I moved on to sandwiches, first just using a standard two slices of bread sandwich and then a Sub. It was pricey, but I'm sold and as a verified purchase, you'll see several more in the near future if you doubt my sincerity - I have to get them all. They're definitely an investment and you need to be careful with them, you could really hurt yourself if you weren't careful but that's the case with any knife.. If there was 10 stars, I'd give it to the Shun. With that said, I haven't tried a Wusthof yet and even though I'm in love with the Shun, I think I'm going to buy one just for good measure. I'll post a review of it when I do and update this one although I have a feeling I'm already too in love with this product to really want to change.
Review: Sharp and handy - This is a great knife for cutting through crusty breads and making subs with. It is also good for slicing tomatoes and feels very comfortable in my hand. Bagels do not stand a chance against this knife. Be sure to only hand wash this knife, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft towel and store in a block or on a magnetic bar. This knife is also super sharp so be sure to take that into consideration if you are new to Japanese knives. There are some videos on YouTube of Alton Brown demonstrating his Shun knives, and they are definitely worth a look. While this knife may not be an absolute necessity for the home cook, it is a great addition to anyone's quality knife collection. I think it would make a great gift to a Shun enthusiast who is missing it in their collection. If you throw a lot of parties and like to serve homemade subs to your guests, this knife will make preparation much easier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW!
*by A***X on March 25, 2013*

I had not known about these sandwhich knives...but since I like to make my own bread and buns, and often make sandwhiches ..I figured, oh it would be nice to have a knife that would not destroy the beautiful sandwhich by making all the ingredients fall out on the sides. And Gosh does this knife serve its purpose. I don't know why or how it does it, but the feeling of cutting a realy big crunchy round sandwhich into two perfect halfs is stunning. I have a chef's knife of that brand also and really love it! Definitely a luxury, makes for a great gift if you know people who appreciate it, and if you're into cooking, you just deserve it. It is a beautiful knife. No experience on sharpening, but this kind of serrated knife will probably stay sharp very long, just like any great bread knife.
