Shun Shiranami 6.5″ Master Utility Knife

When your prep calls for both finesse and authority, reach for the Shun Shiranami Master Utility Knife. With a profile that sits between a classic utility knife and a chef’s knife, it’s a smart choice for everyday board work—from trimming and portioning to slicing and dicing.

Details make the difference: a gently curved belly supports rocking cuts, while the downturned tip helps with more precise tasks. Finished with flowing Damascus steel inspired by open water and a Prussian blue jute micarta handle for confident control, this knife brings Shun’s Seki City, Japan heritage to the heart of your kitchen.
