Shun Classic 8" Chef’s Knife - DM0706

The Shun Classic 8" Chef's Knife (DM0706) by KAI USA is a Japanese-made, NSF-listed commercial chef's knife built for stations where precision cutting matters. Its 8-inch blade handles slicing, dicing, chopping, and fine mincing across a full range of proteins, produce, and herbs.

• Forged chef's knife sold individually, NSF listed for commercial foodservice use, and handcrafted in Seki City, Japan through a minimum of 100 individual production steps
• Blade is constructed with a proprietary VG-MAX stainless steel cutting core clad with 34 layers of stainless Damascus steel on each side (68 layers total), ground and bead-blasted to a Rockwell hardness of 60-61 HRC
• Hand-sharpened to a 16-degree edge angle per side using a double-bevel grind, delivering a long-lasting razor-sharp edge with strong corrosion and wear resistance
• Handle is an ebony-finished D-shaped PakkaWood, a resin-impregnated hardwood that resists moisture and does not harbor bacteria, fitted with stainless steel bolster and end cap; the full composite tang keeps weight low and balance centered
• Blade geometry features a curved belly for rocking cuts through herbs and a wide profile that keeps knuckles clear of the board and assists with transferring prepped food; thinner blade stock makes it noticeably lighter than comparable European-style chef's knives
• Backed by a limited lifetime warranty from KAI USA; hand washing is recommended to maintain blade integrity and handle finish over time

Dimensions: 13.5" overall length, 8" blade length, 1.9" blade height, 4.9" handle length, 2.3mm spine thickness, 7.5 oz.
