Versatile Mid‑Size Precision, VG‑MAX Core, Classic Japanese Craftsmanship
The Shun Classic 6" Utility Knife (DM0701) bridges the gap between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, offering exceptional control for trimming, slicing, and everyday prep tasks. Its VG‑MAX cutting core provides excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, clad in 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel for durability and a flowing, polished pattern. The narrow, low‑drag blade excels at clean, precise cuts on vegetables, fruits, meats, and sandwich ingredients.

The ebony‑finished D‑shaped Pakkawood handle delivers a secure, comfortable grip with traditional Japanese styling. Hand‑sharpened to a 16° double‑bevel edge, the Classic Utility Knife is a lightweight, agile tool ideal for cooks who want precision without the bulk of a full chef’s knife.
