Shun Kagerou Master Utility Knife, 6.5"

A Master Utility utility knife is an ideal everyday reach for slicing, trimming and finishing work where control matters. The 6.5" length is compact enough for detail cuts but still gives you useful board coverage for quick prep.

The wider blade profile gives you a little more surface to guide your cuts and can make the knife feel steadier during prep. It also helps provide extra knuckle clearance, so your hand has more room as you work on the board.

Compared with a chef’s knife, it’s shorter and easier to maneuver for smaller tasks and finishing touches. Compared with a paring knife, it offers more length and a taller profile that can feel more secure on the cutting board.

Yes, it can be a great starting point if you want a versatile knife that feels approachable in size. The shape is designed for common prep tasks, so it’s easy to reach for whether you cook daily or are building your knife lineup.

The listing does not specify dishwasher compatibility, so treat it like fine cutlery: wash carefully by hand, dry promptly and store it in a way that protects the edge. Using a cutting board that’s gentle on edges and sharpening as needed will help maintain the knife’s precision.
