Description

The Shun Premier Blonde Master Utility Knife combines the nimbleness of a utility knife with the do-it-all capabilities of a chef's knife. The blade is slightly longer and significantly wider, so you can easily accomplish a wide range of food preparation tasks while enjoying the ease of use and agility of a compact knife. Extra width at the heel and a slightly curved belly enables rocking cuts to easily mince herbs and spices. A larger handle gives you a secure, comfortable, and confident grip as you work. The down-turned tip (similar to a Kiritsuke) is extra durable. Slice, dice, shred, or portion; you can do it all with this one very beautiful, very functional, kitchen knife.

The Shun Premier line calls to mind as the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed, similar to samurai swords using a traditional clay-baking technique. The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag. The handles nestle comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.

    Stunning craftsmanship and surgical performance

    My first impression when unboxing this knife was how stunning it looked. The high-polish finish and distinct Damascus pattern catch the light beautifully—visually striking but not textured, so it doesn’t create drag like Kramer’s stainless Damascus. The warm, blonde pakkawood handle paired with the satin stainless bolster and end cap looks and feels premium.

    Fit and finish are exceptional. You genuinely can’t feel where the metal stops and the wood begins. The handle’s size and proportions are excellent for my XL hands, and the bolster is contoured to naturally support a pinch grip.

    Out-of-the-box sharpness was phenomenal. It sliced cleanly through everything from tomatoes to fresh carrots with minimal effort. A lot of the knife’s “glide” is thanks to its thin blade—just 1.8 mm at the spine near the heel. That thinness, combined with a well-ground edge, makes for surgical performance.

    The blade profile is ideal for push and pull cuts, and it tap-chops cleanly as well. Rocking is limited due to the flatter profile, but it still works on smaller diameter foods like scallions, garlic, and celery.

    The handle stays secure even when wet, and the knife is easy to clean. It’s a pleasure to use for any prep job where a chef’s knife or santoku would be overkill.

    I can’t speak to long-term edge retention yet, but my other Shun Premier knives have held up very well with proper care—and I expect no less from this one.

    ⚠️ This is a precision tool, not a beater. Use proper technique,…
