KAI Shun Classic Chef's Knife DM706 20.5 cm

The KAI Shun Classic Chef’s Knife (DM706, 20.5 cm) is a Japanese-made knife designed for standard kitchen tasks, including slicing, chopping, and carving. It features a 205 mm blade forged from 65 layers of Damascus steel. The core is made of VG-MAX steel, which provides the cutting edge and determines the knife's edge retention. This composition balances sharpness with the durability required for daily kitchen use. The blade is suitable for preparing vegetables, portioning meat, and cleaning fish. Its length and profile make it versatile for a variety of ingredients.

The handle is crafted from black-stained birch Pakkawood, a composite material known for its stability in humid kitchen environments. It features a traditional D-shaped cross-section, providing an ergonomic grip that maintains a stable hand position. This design helps keep the knife steady during extended use. Manufactured in Japan, the knife features a visible layered pattern on the blade. The black handle and the Damascus pattern provide a functional, clean look for both professional and home kitchens.
