Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Part serrated slicer, part spatula, this knife is an amazing all-around addition to any chef's arsenal. With 16 layers of hard-carbon stainless steel on each side, the blade boasts 33 micro-thin layers for an unequivocal sharpness ready to take on any odd job around the kitchen. Lifetime warranty.

Amazon.com Review:
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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - nicely carved the turkey
we bought this as a gift for our daughter for Christmas. I carved the turkey with ease. Big turkey. Small knife. No problem.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Knife Ever
I gave this knife to my son as a gift last year and have been jealous ever since! Finally bought one for myself and it's the one I go for every time. Especially effective in cutting though crusty French/Italian bread - "smashing" gone forever! Slicing delicate fruits or vegetables is a snap as well. It's truly the best knife ever.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant
I LOVE this knife. Highly recommended. Brilliant. But not sure how to sharpen it with the serrations - no instructions..



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - WOW!!!!
This is a GREAT knife. Took another reviewer's advice and bought this as my second Shun knife. It is one of the most versatile knifes I own. Remarkably sharp, well balanced, easy to hold and use. It's primary function is as a "sandwich knife"....you know....slice the bread, tomatoes, pickles, onions, meat, cheese, and whatever else is in the kitchen. Then use the same knife to spread the mayo, mustard, relish,etc. and cut the finished product in half for serving. Highly recommend.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Not the Ultimate Utility but just Plain Wonderful
I had always wanted a knife with a round tip so it would be less scary when the kitchen gets crowded and less damaging to floor or counter should it drops. I rarely use pointed knife tip to prep for cooking. I use the tip on a peeler when I need to. Ok, I admit I am not a serious cook, but enough to make our family's stomachs happy. Don't know how many times I salivated over the beautiful Shun knives wherever I saw them (Shop windows, catalog...), so when this knife came on market, I got it right ... Read More
