About
The Shun Shiranami Master Utility combines the agility of a compact blade with the versatility of a larger knife. Slightly longer and wider than a traditional utility knife, it offers exceptional control while expanding your range in the kitchen. For many cooks, it becomes the perfect bridge between a utility and a chef’s knife.
Its broader heel provides stability, while a gently curved belly supports smooth rocking cuts for herbs and spices. The downturned tip adds durability and precision for detailed work, making it equally comfortable slicing, dicing, trimming, or portioning.
Forged from Shun’s 71-layer Dual Core Damascus steel, the blade delivers outstanding cutting performance and lasting edge retention. The flowing wave-inspired pattern reflects the series name, Shiranami, meaning “white-capped wave.” The Prussian blue jute micarta handle offers balance, durability, and a secure grip, giving you confident control in a highly adaptable form.
