Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun DM0715 Classic 2-1/2-Inch Bird's Beak Knife
Customer Review: A perfect, wicked little knife
Summary: 5 Stars
This is as close to perfection as I have seen in a bird's-beak knife in more than three decades of professional and home cooking. It is wickedly sharp right out of the box. I mean sharp as a razor. If your knife skills are limited, be careful. The shape of the handle is Shun's idea of perfection and I must admit it works well, especially for a right-hander. The handle is longer than most, an advantage for both balance and control.
Maintaining the edge of a curved blade like this takes a bit of skill. If you aren't entirely sure of yourself, ask a more experienced friend to show you how to do so. It would be a tragedy to damage the fine edge of this little work of art.
The downside? Like all Shun knives, it is insanely expensive. Still, you get what you pay for so go for it.
Description of Shun DM0715 Classic 2-1/2-Inch Bird's Beak Knife
A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this durable bird?s beak knife deftly handles intricate paring and peeling tasks. The knife?s compact size makes it easy to handle while a uniquely arched blade curves to meet the shape of many fruits and vegetables. Measuring 2-1/2 inches in length with a piercingly sharp tip, this tool is a favorite when precision is a priority.Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife?s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
