Shun Classic Dual-Density Utility Knife

This innovative knife is one of the most versatile in the kitchen, thanks to a unique dual-frequency serrated blade that cuts easily through crusts of bread or soft foods like tomatoes.  It’s handcrafted in Japan by Shun, whose exceptional craftsmanship reflects a centuries-old tradition of Japanese knife making.

• VG-10 “super steel” blade is clad on each side with 16 microthin layers of high-carbon steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
• The unique combination of low- and high-frequency serrations guarantees unsurpassed performance.
• Low-frequency serrations help minimize resistance between blade and cutting board.
• High-frequency serrations reduce tearing when cutting soft-skinned foods (like tomatoes) or slicing through hard crusts.
• Durable PakkaWood handle resists moisture and has a D shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.
• NSF-certified knife meets the high-level hygiene standards for professional kitchens.
• A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
