Description: The ultra-versatile Shun Classic Blonde Master Utility (DM0782W) combines the nimbleness of a utility knife with the do-it-all capabilities of a chef's knife. The blade is slightly longer and significantly wider, so you can easily accomplish a wide range of food preparation tasks while enjoying the ease of use and agility of a compact knife. Extra width at the heel and a slightly curved belly enables rocking cuts to easily mince herbs. A larger handle gives you a secure, comfortable, and confident grip as you work. The Shun Classic Blonde Master Utility's downturned tip (similar to a kiritsuke) is extra durable. Slice, dice, shred, or portion; you can do it all with this very beautiful, very functional, kitchen knife.
The stunningly beautiful Shun line of kitchen cutlery is forged by Kai in Japan and distributed through Kershaw. Shun's proprietary, high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that is sharp, durable, corrosion resistant, and beautiful to behold!
'D' shape blond Pakkawood handles provide beauty and function. The 'D' shape is comfortable for both left- and right-handed users. Pakkawood provides strength and stability along with moisture resistance.
This distinctive piece of kitchen cutlery performs beautifully and you'll find that the new blonde Pakkawood handles fit your hand like a comfortable glove.

  • A light and maneuverable all-purpose kitchen knife
  • Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge
  • 34 layers of stainless damascus cladding each side (68 total); support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade
  • D-shaped blonde PakkaWood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria
