Unlike a regular stamped household knife, the Japanese specially sharp multi-layered professional knife stays sharp for longer and is easier to sharpen. DM-0702W is a sturdy all-purpose knife suitable for all cutting tasks.
The blade material, blade profile, and hand-finished sharpening of Shun knives create unparalleled sharpness, allowing the knife to cut through even the toughest materials. Unmatched sharpness combined with balanced weight distribution enables effortless and enjoyable knife work. Shun is suitable for both amateur home use and professional use in restaurant kitchens. The handles of the knives are made of hygienic pakka wood, with no seams that collect dirt.
Each KAI Shun knife is forged from beautiful damascus steel with 32 layers. A fusion of craftsmanship, technology, and design, Shun knives are inspired by the art of forging Samurai swords, allowing for the production of Shun knives in Western blade shapes as well.

Japanese kitchen knives are made of very hard and thin metal. Therefore, they should not be used to chop or twist on hard materials such as frozen or boned meat, coconuts, tin can lids, etc. There is a risk of pieces breaking off from the blade. High-quality kitchen knives should never be washed in a dishwasher, but rather quickly washed and dried after use. Any storage solution where the blades are not in contact with other metal objects is suitable.
