Description

The Shun Premier U2 Ultimate Utility Knife features a low-frequency serration that makes this knife perfect for slicing delicate thin-skinned fruits and vegetables. The knife's curved belly enables to rock it on the cutting board, while the wide blade with its rounded tip also makes it great for spreading mayo on a sandwich. When you're ready to cut the sandwich in half, the gentle serrations glide through without tearing.

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.

    Surprised!

    Why surprised? Because this is a truly beautiful knife. Who would have thought that a fancy spreader would actually be so versatile. As with the other Shun knifes I have purchased, this is no exception. A work of art. I almost don't want to use it because I don't want anything to happen to it. LoL

    The blade is razor sharp. The handle fits perfectly in my hand. The wood shines with a sparkle. So well made You can't go wrong with this knife.

    What A Fabulous Knife

    I bought this knife to replace another smaller profile utility knife. There is no comparison. This knife is so sharp and the wide with is wonderful for spreading condiments in sandwiches. It cuts through a thick sandwich like butter. I love this knife and highly recommend it. It also is a piece of art, so beautiful.
