KAI Shun Classic White Utility Knife 15 cm - 32-layer Damascus steel - Pakkawood handle

KAI Shun Classic White All-Purpose Knife DM-0701W with a 15 cm long blade made of 32-layer Damascus steel and a chestnut-shaped handle made of light-colored Pakkawood. All-purpose knives have a narrow, pointed blade and, as the name suggests, are universally applicable for all cutting tasks where a shorter blade is advantageous. Other names for all-purpose knives are universal or preparation knives, and knives with even shorter blades are called paring and garnishing knives.

The core of the Shun Classic blade up to the edge consists of extremely hard VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 HRC. VG MAX steel is corrosion-resistant and stands for lasting sharpness. The core is covered with 32 layers of a Damascus steel composite. This combination makes the blade hard and elastic at the same time and cannot break, assuming normal use. All Shun Classic blades are symmetrically sharpened on both sides.

The handle is made of light-colored ash-colored Pakkawood in a traditional Japanese chestnut shape. The slight edge on the right side is perfectly adapted to the hand geometry and allows for a relaxed and equally secure grip. The knife can be guided precisely without fatigue.

High-quality resins added to the Pakkawood make the handle particularly durable and moisture-resistant. The tang, which runs completely through the handle, ensures stability and balance of the knife. The transition between blade and handle is marked by a stainless steel bolster, as is the end cap at the end of the handle.
