## Long description

The KAI Shun Classic DM701 universal knife features a 15 cm stainless damascus blade with a VG-MAX core, offering exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Designed for professional chefs and home cooks, the knife combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a comfortable ergonomic handle and a balanced weight to support extended use.
Advantages
The 32-layer damask construction over a VG-MAX core provides high hardness (around 61±1 HRC) and a fine, durable cutting edge. The convex blade geometry and manual honing yield precise slicing performance through a wide range of foods. Each blade displays a unique damask pattern, reflecting individual craftsmanship and making every knife a distinct piece. The stainless properties of the steel improve corrosion resistance and everyday usability.

How to use
Hold the KAI Shun Classic by the ergonomic handle and use a controlled slicing or rocking motion depending on the task.

Usage recommendations
Hand wash and dry the blade immediately after use to preserve the damask finish and prevent staining. Regularly hone the edge with a fine honing rod and restore the edge with a whetstone or professional sharpening when needed. Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to avoid contact with other utensils.
