    Summary

    More versatile than a traditional chef's knife, this Shun Hikari utility knife features a unique wide blade with a slightly curved shape that's designed to facilitate rocking cuts. It also boasts an extra-wide heel that allows it to excel at a full range of cutting and slicing tasks. Handcrafted in Japan, the multitalented knife is agile enough to help you create the most precise julienne matchsticks as well as a fine brunoise.

    • Dual-core stainless-steel blade is clad on each side with 71 micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel to create "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of Damascus-style blade.
    • Exceedingly sharp cutting edge is long-lasting and easy to maintain.
    • Durable birch PakkaWood handle resists moisture and bacteria.
    • Handle offers superb grip for both left-handed and right-handed users.
    • Embossed endcap adds beauty and balance.
