About
The Master Utility is a blade shape unique to Shun. This versatile knife combines the agility of a utility knife with the multifunction capabilities of a chef’s knife. The blade is wider than a standard utility, so you can easily accomplish a wide range of food preparation tasks. A larger handle gives you a secure, comfortable, and confident grip as you work. With the Narukami Master Utility, all this versatility is combined with the ultimate performance of carbon steel cutlery—from top edge retention to easy re-sharpening. Like all carbon steels, Blue II requires additional care. Cleaning and drying immediately is key. Over time, the edge will darken, developing a patina which, when formed, will also help protect the edge. Narukami, which means “thunderbolt” in Japanese, has a striking look. It is designed for professionals and for those who appreciate the unique qualities of fine carbon steel cutlery.
