Shun Classic 7 inch Santoku Knife, Handcrafted in Japan, DM0702

Product Description

Like a chef’s knife, the Japanese santoku is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues.” and may refer to the three types of foods it works especially well with—vegetables, proteins, and fruit. Moderately shorter than the usual chef’s knife, a santoku is really easy to maneuver—even in a smaller kitchen. There is just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which enhances the knife’s versatility. This distinctive piece of kitchen cutlery performs beautifully and you are going to find that the new blonde Pakkawood handles fit your hand like a comfortable glove.

Resembling something between a chef’s knife and a cleaver, the tool features a wide blade and measures 6-1/2 inches in length. Versatile at its core, this high-quality piece chops walnuts as easily as it slices apples.

Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. The usage of technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 “super steel” core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood maintain. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles even as a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Even supposing dishwasher-protected, hand washing is beneficial.
