Shun Classic 6" Kiritsuke Knife

The Shun Classic Bunka Knife is used for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife. It's ideal for slicing and push cuts. Julienne, dice, or brunoise vegetables with ease. It's also an excellent choice for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, and particularly fish. It slices cooked proteins easily and gracefully. This 6-inch size features a slightly shorter blade for easy maneuverability and versatility. It also has a slightly curved edge so that it even works well with rocking cuts.
