## Summary description

The KAI Shun Classic DM703 carving knife features a 20 cm steel blade designed for precision slicing. Ideal for carving meats and poultry, it offers excellent balance and control, making it a favorite among professional chefs and home cooks alike.

## Long description

The KAI Shun Classic DM703 carving knife is a precision tool designed for effortless slicing of meats and poultry. Combining centuries-old Japanese blacksmithing traditions with modern manufacturing, this 20 cm knife features a high-performance VG MAX steel core. The blade is encased in 32 layers of Damascus steel, creating a distinctive aesthetic pattern while ensuring exceptional durability and long-lasting sharpness. The ergonomic handle, crafted from moisture-resistant black pakkawood, provides a secure and comfortable grip, making this knife an essential addition to any professional or home kitchen.
Advantages
This carving knife stands out due to its superior material composition, featuring a core hardness of 61 (±1) HRC that maintains a razor-sharp edge over extended periods. The Damascus steel construction offers a perfect balance between hardness and flexibility, preventing the blade from becoming brittle. The traditional Japanese chestnut-shaped handle is engineered for stability, while the integrated tang ensures optimal weight distribution and control during intricate carving tasks.
Suitable for
Slicing roasted meats and poultry
Preparing large cuts of cooked protein
Professional culinary environments
Home kitchens requiring high-precision tools
When it may not be suitable
This knife is not intended for cutting through bones, frozen foods, or extremely hard ingredients, as these actions can damage the fine edge of the blade. It is also not suitable for dishwasher cleaning, which can compromise the integrity of the pakkawood handle and the sharpness of the steel.

How to use
To achieve the best results, use a smooth, sliding motion when carving rather than applying excessive downward pressure.

Always maintain a steady rhythm to ensure uniform slices of meat or poultry.

Usage recommendations
Always clean the knife by hand with mild detergent and dry it immediately with a soft cloth.

Avoid using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting surfaces to prevent premature dulling.
