6" Shun Dual Core Utility/Butchery

Japanese chef knives are brittle and are designed for cutting soft tissue foods. Carbon steel chef knives can rust if not kept dry.

The Dual Core Utility/Butchery Knife is between a chef's knife and a paring knife in size. The slim, razor-sharp blade is perfect for a full range of butchery tasks as well as all those in-between-sized tasks like trimming vegetables or slicing meats and cheeses. The Shun Dual Core Utility/Butchery Knife offers a razor-sharp 6-in. edge with amazing edge retention, and a handle that stays comfortable in your hand, even during long prep sessions.
