Shun Classic 6" Serrated Utility Knife

The Shun Classic 6-inch Serrated Utility Knife part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery.

It also works well with hard cheeses and sausages, especially those in hard casings. In size, it is between the chef and paring knife, but with a narrower and straighter blade. In the tradition of Japan's ancient sword smiths, each Damascus-clad Shun Classic knife is handcrafted in Seki City, Japan with a 100-step process. The blade is forged with 34 micro-layers of metal on each side of a VG-MAX* cutting core. There are alternating layers of 431 and 410 stainless steel, plus one additional layer of nickel on each side of the cutting core. Forged into one single, strong piece of metal, these layers, which provide the beautiful, swirled pattern of the blade, support the core,
