Discover unmatched precision in the palm of your hand with the Shun Premier Utility Knife. A compact yet powerful blade that bridges the gap between a chef’s knife and a paring knife. Designed for versatility and control, this beautifully handcrafted tool is perfect for a wide range of everyday kitchen tasks.

Versatile Performance in a Compact Blade

The Shun Premier Utility Knife features a narrow, razor-sharp blade ideal for slicing meats, trimming vegetables. Also for handling delicate prep work. Its 6-inch length offers exceptional control, making it the perfect go-to knife for jobs that require more finesse than a full-sized chef’s knife but more power than a paring knife.

Hand-forged from VG-MAX super steel and layered with 34 sheets of Damascus stainless steel, the blade delivers outstanding edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. The hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag and allows food to release smoothly, making every cut more efficient.

Whether you’re slicing tomatoes, trimming fat from meats, or crafting a perfect sandwich, the Shun Premier Utility Knife performs with impressive sharpness and agility.

Signature Shun Craftsmanship and Comfort

The walnut-coloured PakkaWood handle is elegantly contoured for a comfortable, secure grip, offering both style and functionality. Lightweight and well-balanced, it fits naturally in your hand, reducing fatigue and increasing precision with every use. The seamless design ensures hygiene and ease of cleaning—ideal for fast-paced kitchens.

Combining traditional Japanese artistry with modern performance, the Shun Premier Utility Knife is a must-have for chefs who value fine detail and versatility in their cutlery. It’s the everyday knife you’ll reach for time and time again.

The Shun Premier blade’s core fashioned from extremely hard VG Max steel and is enveloped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination of different steel grades makes the blade both hard and flexible at once. The double-sided blade is easy to use because it its light weight and guarantees a clean and precise cut. The incorporation of a hammered surface underlies not only aesthetic reasons, but also serves the release of material from the blade thanks to the resulting air pockets.

Thanks to its symmetrical shape, it is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. A continuous tang ensures stability and balance whilst cutting. As a special touch, the handle’s end has been engraved with Tim Mälzer’s bull’s head, the professional chef’s trademark.
