Shun VG0019 Dual Core 6" Utility Knife
A utility knife is the third member of the kitchen knife trifecta. In size,
it’s between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, making it perfect for all those
in-between tasks. For trimming green beans, broccoli, and other jobs where you
need some precision, your utility knife is an excellent choice. Any time a paring
knife seems like too little and a chef’s knife too much, reach for a utility
knife. The Shun Dual Core Utility Knife offers a razor-sharp six-inch edge that
is also perfect for slicing meats, cheeses, tomatoes, and more, which is why
this style of knife is sometimes called a sandwich knife.
About the Shun Dual Core series: Until now, it was considered almost
impossible to create layered Damascus from two premium-quality stainless steels.
But what was impossible is now a reality—and Shun is proud to bring it to your
kitchen. The Shun Dual Core series features a Damascus blade made from two premium-quality
stainless steels. Seventy-one alternating micro layers of high carbon, high
chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels are roll-forged to produce a finer grain
in the steel and to give it both strength and beauty. The laminated steel is
then hot forged to create the herringbone pattern that allows the layers to
alternate along the cutting edge. During normal use, the two steels will wear
at different rates creating micro serrations along the edge so that the Dual
Core’s extremely sharp edge feels sharp longer. Etched laminations in the blade
reduce drag, helping food release from the blade and gliding through each cut
quickly and easily. Dual Core blades are thin, light, and strong. Traditional
Japanese octagon-shaped handles in ebony PakkaWood provide a comfortable and
secure grip to complete the look of these beautiful knives.
