A quality utility knife is an essential addition to your kitchen knife collection. Positioned between a chef's knife and a paring knife in size, it’s perfect for a variety of in-between tasks. Whether you’re trimming green beans, broccoli, or handling tasks that require precision, the utility knife is an excellent choice. When a paring knife feels too small and a chef's knife too large, reach for the Shun Premier Utility Knife. Its razor-sharp 6-inch edge makes quick work of sandwich ingredients like meats, cheeses, and tomato slices, which is why it’s often referred to as a sandwich knife.
