The Shun Shiranami 6.5" Master Utility Knife bridges the gap between a chef’s knife and a smaller utility knife. Its longer, wider blade provides excellent control for slicing produce, portioning boneless proteins, preparing sandwiches and handling everyday tasks that require more reach than a paring knife.

Handcrafted in Japan, the blade features 71 alternating micro layers of VG10 and VG2 stainless steel. This innovative Dual Core construction creates Shiranami’s distinctive wave-inspired pattern while delivering outstanding sharpness, durability and edge retention. The contoured jute micarta handle provides a comfortable, secure grip for controlled everyday preparation.
