Shun Kazahana Utility 6″

Description

The Shun Kazahana Utility is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife in size, but with a narrower, straighter blade. It’s perfect for tasks where precise cuts are needed, such as trimming green beans or other small vegetables. Its slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts, too. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwichfrom tomatoes, to meats and cheeses. In Japanese, “Kazahana” means “Snow that flickers like petals dancing in a clear sky,” much like the finish on its beautiful satin finish blade.
