Shun DM0701W Classic Blonde 6-Inch Utility Knife

Shun Classic Blonde Utility Knife

The Shun DM0701W is a 6-inch utility knife designed for cooks who need a blade sized between a chef's knife and a paring knife. Its narrow, straight blade handles precise tasks such as trimming vegetables, cutting sandwiches, or peeling and slicing onions in hand. The slightly curved belly allows moderate rocking cuts for versatile kitchen work. Handcrafted construction includes a VG-MAX steel core clad with 68 micro layers of Damascus stainless steel for a distinctive flowing pattern.

Hand-sharpened 16 double-bevel blade

The blade features a 16-degree double-bevel edge per side, creating a 32-degree comprehensive angle that delivers a razor-sharp cutting surface. This specific geometry decides whether the knife matches a user's sharpening preference and cutting style. The VG-MAX core steel holds this acute edge longer than standard stainless alloys. The 69-layer Damascus cladding adds stain resistance and visual character to the functional core.

For precise prep and sandwich tasks

Cooks who want a nimble, mid-sized knife for detailed vegetable work, sandwich assembly, and in-hand peeling will find this utility knife well suited. Buyers who need a heavier blade for breaking down large proteins or dense squash should look at larger chef's knives. Those seeking a dedicated paring knife for intricate tip work will prefer a shorter blade. The PakkaWood handle in a light blonde tone completes the Classic Blonde series aesthetic.
