The utility knife is the third essential knife in every kitchen. It sits between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, making it the ideal tool for all those in-between tasks. When a paring knife feels too small and a chef’s knife feels too large, the Shun Premier 6.5" Utility Knife is the perfect choice.
Handcrafted in Japan, this knife offers precise control for trimming green beans, slicing broccoli, preparing fruit and handling detail work that benefits from a lighter, more agile blade. It also excels at sandwich prep, slicing meats, cheeses and tomatoes with ease, which is why this style of knife is often called a sandwich knife.

A Knife for Everyday Tasks
From slicing tomatoes and trimming vegetables to preparing meats and cheeses, this 6.5" blade handles a wide range of jobs with confidence. Its size gives you more reach than a paring knife while remaining lighter and more nimble than a full chef’s knife. For many cooks, it becomes the knife they reach for most often.
Design & Heritage
The Premier series blends traditional Japanese knife making with modern materials and refined finishing. Each blade is hand assembled and carefully sharpened, delivering a balance of beauty and performance. The Utility Knife reflects this approach by offering practical size, razor-sharp precision and reliable versatility for daily cooking.
