KAI Shun Damascus Tomato Knife 15 cm DM-0722

Description

The KAI Shun Damascus DM-0722 is a 15 cm Japanese tomato knife from the iconic Shun Damascus series. Its blade slices cleanly through delicate skins — tomatoes, stone fruit and other soft-skinned produce — without crushing the flesh inside.

The blade is forged in 32-layer Damascus with an exposed core in VG-MAX steel, a premium Japanese alloy that reaches a hardness of HRc 61 ±1 Rockwell, for an exceptionally sharp, long-lasting edge. The asymmetric D-shaped handle, made of stabilised black Pakkawood, gives a firm, moisture-resistant grip.

Slicing with the KAI Shun DM-0722

With a 15 cm blade, a maximum width of 2.6 cm, a 10.4 cm handle and a total length of 26.7 cm, it weighs just 80 g and feels nimble in the hand. The handle is designed for right-handers (asymmetric section). The knife is supplied in a presentation box and carries a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep its VG-MAX edge (HRc 61 ±1) in top form with Japanese water stones.
