Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun DM0706 Classic 8-Inch Chef's Knife

Customer Review: A Beautiful Knife...
Summary: 5 Stars

These Shun Classic knives look beautiful, feel wounderful, and work like a charm. The first thing I noticed when I picked up this knife was the weight of the knife. It's a very well-balanced knife. Second, I noticed the comfort of the handle. It has a "D" shaped handle specifically designed for a right handed chef. This knife is NOT designed for LEFT-HANDED people. I would recommend these knives for the serious home chef who knows how to handle a professional knife (sharpening, care, safety, etc.) or for the professional chef.

Description of Shun DM0706 Classic 8-Inch Chef's Knife

Made from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade.

The large 8-inch blade of this Shun chef's knife makes it ideal for versatile slicing, chopping, dicing, and more. Like many Asian-style knives, the knife's handle is especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun's are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, providing extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. As sturdy as it is lovely, the chef's knife is officially safe to put in the dishwasher--although it's so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so. Shun knives carry a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park
