CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Shun Premier 6.5" Serrated Utility Knife is built for versatility, precision, and clean slicing performance—ideal for those in-between tasks where a chef’s knife is too large and a paring knife too small. Handcrafted in Japan, this blade combines centuries-old knife-making tradition with modern materials and functional design, delivering a tool that’s as beautiful as it is capable.
At the core of the 6.5" blade is Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX stainless steel, known for its fine grain structure, excellent edge retention, and corrosion resistance. It’s clad in 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel, giving it both strength and a striking, rippling grain pattern. The hammered tsuchime finish not only adds visual character, it also reduces drag and helps prevent food from sticking to the blade—making every cut smoother and more efficient.
The finely serrated edge is purpose-built to glide through tough-skinned produce, crusty breads, and cured meats without tearing or crushing. It’s a go-to knife for slicing tomatoes, citrus, and sandwiches with clean, controlled cuts. Whether you're prepping lunch or working through detailed slicing tasks, this utility knife offers the ideal combination of control, agility, and cutting power.
The handle is crafted from walnut-colored pakkawood, a resin-infused hardwood known for its moisture resistance, durability, and smooth finish. Ergonomically contoured for comfort and control, the handle fits naturally in the hand, making it easy to maneuver during precise work. The full tang construction ensures balance and strength from tip to end, and the polished end cap adds a refined, professional touch.
At 10.75" overall and weighing just 3.2oz, this knife is lightweight, well-balanced, and built for all-day use. Whether you're a home cook or a working chef, the Shun Premier Serrated Utility Knife is a standout performer with the style and edge retention to match its handcrafted pedigree.
