PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Shun Kazahana Utility is between a chefs knife and a paring knife in size, but with a narrower, straighter blade. Its perfect for tasks where precise cuts are needed, such as trimming green beans or other small vegetables. Its slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts, too. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich, from tomatoes, to meats and cheeses. In Japanese, Kazahana means Snow that flickers like petals dancing in a clear sky, much like the finish on its beautiful satin finish blade.
