Unlike a regular household knife pressed from a sheet metal, the Japanese special sharp multi-layered professional knife stays sharp longer and is easier to sharpen. The DM-0701W utility knife is suitable for all kinds of cutting in the kitchen.
The blade material, blade profile, and hand-finished sharpening of Shun knives create unparalleled sharpness, allowing the knife to cut through even the hardest materials. Unbeatable sharpness, combined with a balanced weight distribution, allows for effortless and pleasant knife work. Shun is suitable for both hobbyists' home use and professionals in restaurant kitchens. The handles of the knives are made of hygienic packwood, with no seams that collect dirt.
Each KAI Shun knife is forged from natural and beautiful damascus steel into 32 layers. The Shun knife is a unique work of art that combines craftsmanship, technology, and design. Inspired by the forging of masterful Samurai swords, the production technique of the finest chef knives allows Shun knives to also be made in Western blade shapes.

Japanese kitchen knives are made of very hard and thin metal. Therefore, they should not be used to chop or twist into hard materials, such as frozen or bony meat, coconuts, tin can lids, etc. There is a risk of concrete pieces breaking off the blade. Quality kitchen knives should also never be washed in a dishwasher, but rather quickly hand washed and dried after use. All storage solutions where the blades of the knives do not come into contact with other metal objects are suitable for storage.
