A good utility knife is the third member of your must-have kitchen
knife line up. In size, it's between a chef's knife and a paring knife,
making it the perfect size 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 Premier Utility Knife offers a razor-sharp 6-in. edge that
also makes quick work of anything that goes in a sandwich—meats,
cheeses, tomato slices, and more. That specialized use is why this style
of knife is sometimes called a sandwich knife.
