KAI Shun DM-0707 Japanese Chef's Knife – 25.5 cm

The KAI Shun Classic DM-0707 is a 25.5 cm Japanese chef's knife designed for professional chefs and demanding cooks who require a long, precise and versatile blade.

Its 25.5 cm length provides a generous cutting surface and is particularly useful when working with larger ingredients or making long, continuous cuts. It is designed to function as a powerful main kitchen knife.

A long blade for larger preparation tasks

The DM-0707 offers clear advantages when a longer blade is preferred over the traditional 20 cm chef's knife.

Its 25.5 cm blade is suitable for:

• Chopping and slicing large quantities of vegetables.

• Preparing larger fruit and produce.

• Cutting and portioning meat.

• Working with larger fish and ingredients.

• Making long, continuous cuts.

• Preparing larger quantities of ingredients efficiently.

• Performing professional cutting techniques.

The additional blade length makes it easier to make broad cuts and can reduce the need for repeated passes through larger ingredients.

VG-MAX steel and 32-layer Damascus

The KAI Shun DM-0707 features a VG-MAX steel core with a hardness of 61 ±1 HRC, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel.

This construction combines a hard and resilient steel core with the characteristic Damascus structure of the Shun Classic series. The result is a blade designed for excellent cutting performance and a strong combination of hardness and resilience.

The double-sided edge provides versatility for different cutting techniques and preparation tasks.

Traditional Japanese Pakkawood handle

The DM-0707 features a black Pakkawood handle inspired by the traditional Japanese chestnut shape.

High-quality resins make the material resistant to moisture and suitable for demanding everyday use. Its characteristic shape provides a comfortable and secure grip, while the integrated tang contributes to stability and balance.
