Shun Dual Core 6 inch Utility/Butchery Knife

Description

Utility knives fall somewhere between a chef’s knife and a paring knife in both size and use. These knives are ideal for any jobs that require a decent bit of precision but are too big for a paring knife.

The Dual Core collection features a Damascus blade made of 2 different high carbon stainless steels. Seventy-one alternating layers of VG10 and VG2 are roll-forged to produce a finer grain in the steel. The 2 steels will wear at different rates so that the edge feels sharp longer. The Herrington Pattern created allows the layers to alternate. The beautiful ebony PakkaWood handle is a traditional Japanese octagonal shape. Handcrafted in Japan.
