A Japanese boning knife with excellent control

The DM-0710 is designed for detailed meat preparation. Its blade allows you to work closely around bones and joints, helping to separate meat accurately while minimising unnecessary waste.

The 15 cm blade length offers a useful combination of cutting capacity and control. It is long enough to work efficiently on larger pieces of meat while remaining manageable when precise cuts are required.

The double-bevel edge makes the knife suitable for both right- and left-handed users, providing versatility for different cutting techniques and users.

VG-MAX steel core and 32-layer Damascus construction

One of the defining features of the KAI Shun DM-0710 is its premium blade construction.

The core of the blade is made from VG-MAX stainless steel, hardened to approximately 61 ±1 HRC. This Japanese steel is designed to provide excellent hardness and long-lasting edge retention.

The VG-MAX core is surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, creating the distinctive flowing pattern associated with Shun Classic knives.

This construction combines hardness and resilience, resulting in a thin, stable and highly precise blade suitable for demanding meat preparation.

Black PakkaWood handle

The DM-0710 features the distinctive black PakkaWood handle used throughout the Shun Classic collection.

PakkaWood is a durable composite material made from natural wood treated with resins to improve its strength, stability and resistance to moisture.

Its traditional Japanese chestnut shape provides a comfortable and secure grip. The handle design allows excellent control during precision cutting, while the integrated tang contributes to the overall stability and balance of the knife.
