This master utility knife from the Shun Narukami collection combines features of both a utility knife and a chef's knife. The blade is longer and wider than a traditional utility knife, while the kiritsuke-style tip allows this knife to handle detail work, along with slicing and chopping. Use it for dicing produce, mincing herbs, slicing meat, and a multitude of other prep tasks. This master utility knife is ideal for when you don't want to switch back and forth between a utility knife and a chef's knife as you work.
The composite blade consists of a Blue II carbon steel cutting core with single-layer san mai stainless steel cladding. Carbon steel offers professional performance, superior edge-holding, and ease of sharpening. The bead-blasted stainless steel cladding offers ease of maintenance and hides scratches. Over time, the edge will darken and form a patina. Full tang construction offers strength and balance. The linen Micarta knife handle is riveted and contoured for a comfortable grip.
"Narukami" means thunderbolt in Japanese. The Shun Narukami collection is striking, designed for professional chefs and anyone who appreciates the performance of carbon steel cutlery.
