Shun Classic 7″ Santoku (DM0702)

Description

The Shun Classic Santoku is Japanese cutlery at its most refined. Built around a proprietary VG-MAX steel core—an enhanced VG-10 formula with added cobalt and tungsten for superior hardness and edge retention—it is clad in 68 alternating layers of Damascus stainless steel. The result is a knife that holds a razor edge through demanding prep work and looks stunning doing it.

At 7 inches, this santoku strikes the ideal balance between the shorter petty and the longer gyuto. The hollow-ground edge reduces food sticking, making rapid vegetable prep dramatically faster. The D-shaped Pakkawood handle is ergonomically engineered for right-handed cooks and feels luxurious in hand. The full tang construction adds balance and durability.

Shun backs every knife with a lifetime warranty and free sharpening service—simply ship it back and they will return it to factory sharpness. This commitment to long-term ownership makes the Shun Classic one of the best value propositions in premium Japanese cutlery. An ideal choice for cooks who appreciate both performance and craftsmanship.
