Japanese precision, everyday toughness.
The Kai Shun Classic DM-0761 brings samurai blacksmithing to your kitchen at an accessible price, without cutting corners on quality.

Key Features:

• AUS-8A Stainless Steel Blade: Hardened to 57-59 HRC. Known for excellent toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening
• 32-Layer Damascus Cladding: The distinctive wavy pattern adds strength and helps prevent food from sticking
• Steeply Tapered Edge: Sharper than Western knives for cleaner, more precise cuts
• Pakkawood Handle: Classic Japanese chestnut/D-shape. Water-resistant, comfortable, and balanced for right-handed use
• Full Tang: Delivers stability and perfect balance from blade to handle
• Made in Japan: Hand-finished to Kai’s exacting standards
• 10-Year Warranty: Against manufacturing defects

AUS-8A is a “workhorse” steel. It won’t hold an edge quite as long as VG-MAX, but it gets razor sharp fast and is much tougher. Perfect for daily cooking, prepping veg, meat, and fish. It’s the ideal Shun Classic for cooks who want Japanese performance with easy maintenance.

Care:

Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Occasionally oil the handle with vegetable oil to keep the pakkawood looking great.
