Shun Narukami Blue #2 Carbon Steel 6" Utility Knife

The Shun Narukami Blue #2 Carbon Steel 6" Utility Knife is for trimming green beans, broccoli, and other jobs where you need some precision. A good utility knife is the third member of your must-have kitchen knife line up. In size, it's between a chef's knife and a paring knife, making it the perfect size for all those in-between tasks. The razor-sharp edge also makes quick work of anything that goes in a sandwich with meat, cheese, tomato slices and more. That specialized use is why this style of knife is sometimes called a sandwich knife. You'll also love the secure grip the ambidextrous Shun Narukami contoured handle provides.

For the love of carbon steel, Shun Narukami looks sharp and sharpens easily. Bead-blasted stainless steel cladding helps prevent corrosion on the carbon steel core, hides scratches, and helps with food release. Full-tang construction, and micarta handles, will make Shun Narukami your go-to for many culinary creations. Shun Narukami is a simple carbon steel alloy that provides excellent edge retention and toughness, and can be re-sharpened easily. Yet, like all carbon steels, Shun Narukami 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. Even after hours of food prep, resharpening is a breeze, if it needs it. This is why professional chefs prefer carbon steel. If you love carbon steel, you're going to love Shun Narukami.
