KSDM0760: DM0760 Classic Asian Cook's Knife
Shun Cutlery
A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE ALL-PURPOSE KITCHEN KNIFE
In Japan, this knife style is known as a gyuto. It is the Japanese equivalent of the chef's knife. In other words, it's an all-purpose knife. It's ideal for meat and fish, yet performs beautifully on vegetables, too. Although the blade is thinner than the traditional chef's knife, it still offers plenty of knuckle clearance when cutting on a board. If you're looking for a lighter, more nimble multi-purpose kitchen knife, the Shun Classic Asian Cook's Knife is sure to become your go-to knife for a wide range of dicing, chopping, and slicing tasks.
The Shun Classic Asian Cook’s Knife is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery. The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony Pakkawood handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.

Best knives I have ever used
My wife thought I was crazy for paying a high price for a Shun knife, until she used it. It's the only knife she and I use for anything. Cuts through the hardest winter squash like they are butter. Great durability and razor sharp. Ours did get a small nick in the blade but still works as good as day 1. Had it for a few years now along with henkles, zwilling, wusthoff and even miyabi. This knife is lighter than the miyabi fusion but cuts just as well if not better. Would recommend to anyone who would like to buy one knife and not worrying about replacing it.

Worth every penny
OMG sharp, handle feels good in the hand slightly sculpted, appearance is one of beauty such as one would expect from the Japanese. Cut through a frozen onion with a push cut, it was almost effortless. Packaging was excellent. Haven't used it enough to need to resharpen. Using it with a bamboo board. Carefull with the edge because it is so thin don't want to nick it, don't know how durable it is VS nicks. Overall very satisfied, was a birthday present to myself
