Compare Shun Hikari Serrated Master Utility Knife, 7"

Named after the Japanese word for "illumination," the masterfully crafted, award-winning knives in the Hikari collection are distinguished by their stunning birch PakkaWood handles and "hornet's nest" blade pattern. Each knife edge is exceptionally sharp and long-lasting, with microserrations that reduce friction for clean slicing and chopping. Hand made in Japan from high-carbon stainless steel, this serrated utility knife excels at cutting everything from soft-skinned tomatoes to crusty bread. Dual-core stainless-steel blade is clad on each side with 71 micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel to create "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of Damascus-style blade. Exceptionally sharp cutting edge is long-lasting and easy to maintain. Microserrations minimize resistance between blade and cutting board and reduce tearing. Durable birch PakkaWood handle resists moisture and bacteria. Handle offers comfort and control for both left-handed and right-handed use. Polished bolster promotes secure grip. Embossed endcap enhances balance. A Williams Sonoma exclusive. Handcrafted in Japan.
