The utility knife is a knife that sits between a paring/petty and a slicing knife with a general length of around 150mm to 210mm. It is thicker in the blade and used for peeling and dicing shallots, peeling oranges and segmenting and most medium sized fruits and vegetables. Its the happy medium knife for a large collection and something to consider once you have your core knife collection established.

The Shun Classic White series with its six selected blade shapes and bright ash wood coloured handle is now an integral element of the Shun Classic series. The light coloured version also combines centuries-old Japanese Samurai blacksmithing with modern and sophisticated manufacturing processes.

The result are kitchen knives, which have been perfected to the smallest detail and consistently designed for continual sharpness - ideal for professional use. The Shun Classic White series received the German Design Award 2021.
