Damascus Blade Kitchen Knives: Slice and Cook with Style and Elegance

KAI presents the new Shun Classic Red DM-0717RD as a highlight. The exclusive Wide Santoku combines the proven qualities of the Shun Classic series with a new and elegant red grain pakkawood handle in a limited edition. The knife is limited to only 3,000 pieces worldwide. The serial number engraved on the bolster makes each knife unique and desirable as a collector's item.

The extremely sharp blade is made of an extremely hard VG-MAX steel core with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC and is coated with 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination ensures an extremely stable, hard, and yet flexible blade, ideal for a clean and precise cut. The blade is ground on both sides and is particularly lightweight, making it easier to use in the kitchen.

As with the regular knives of the Shun Classic series, the special red grain handle of the Shun Classic Red is made of pakkawood. The treatment with selected resins makes it extremely soft, elastic, durable, and moisture-resistant. Thanks to the traditional Japanese "chestnut" shape of the handle, the Wide Santoku fits comfortably in the hand during cutting and offers a firm grip.

Shun Classic is one of the flagship lines of the Kai Group (which currently also includes the Kershaw and Zero Tolerance brands), a famous Japanese manufacturer of knives and razors since the early 1900s. This is a series of knives and kitchen accessories suitable for professionals and enthusiasts.

The blades are made from laminated steel consisting of an inner layer of VG-10 stainless steel and two outer cheeks of 32-layer damascus. The result is excellent cutting ability combined with excellent edge retention and good flexibility, which is also guaranteed by differentiated tempering.

These knives currently represent the top of Japanese culinary technology. However, the quality does not stop with just the steel used, but continues with the care of the workmanship (sharpening in particular) and the materials used, such as the splendid Pakkawood used for the handles.
