Right now, Williams Sonoma is having a major sale on dozens of Shun products. Save up to 50%, and get fast, free shipping on these Food Network selections.

Known in Japan as a gyuto, this light, nimble knife is ideal for slicing meat and fish, and it performs beautifully on vegetables, too. The blade is thinner than a traditional chef's knife but still offers plenty of knuckle clearance when cutting.

The Higo design is considered Japan’s first pocket knife, and we think it makes a great gift for anyone you’d describe as "handy." Maybe a Father’s Day gift for your hunting and fishing dad?
