The Shun Classic 6" Utility Knife is a versatile Japanese kitchen prep knife designed for slicing, trimming, and everyday detail work. Sized between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, its 6" blade is ideal for foods that require more reach than a small paring knife but more control than a larger cook’s knife.

Part of Shun’s iconic Classic collection, this utility knife features a VG-MAX cutting core, layered Damascus-style cladding, and an ebony-finish PakkaWood handle. Made in Japan, it combines sharp performance, balance, and refined craftsmanship in a practical everyday knife for fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, herbs, small proteins, and general food preparation.
