The Shun Classic 6" Kiritsuke is a compact gyuto-style chef’s knife, designed to handle the same everyday tasks as a full-size chef’s knife—slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, and general prep—with extra agility and control. As a smaller version of Shun’s 8" Kiritsuke, it pairs a flatter edge for efficient push cutting with a kiritsuke-style pointed tip for precise detail work and clean, accurate cuts.
