Shun DM0707 Classic 10-Inch Chef’s Knife
The Shun DM0707 Classic 10-Inch Chef’s Knife is a very beautiful and highly stylish blade. It can be used for almost anything imaginable and there are several unique things about the Shun brand when compared to other knife brands. First of all this model is created from Damascus steel.
Damascus steel was a term originally used about Middle Eastern Swordmaking from approximately 1100 – 1750 AD. This type of steel is known to have a very high toughness and therefore almost impossible to shatter. Furthermore Damascus steel has the capability of being honed into very resilient sharp edges whether on Chef’s knives, Swords etc.
Today Damascus steel is created by a process called pattern welded steel, a process where steel pieces of different carbon are welded together with the aid of flux and then continuously bended, twisted and forged until ready. This process is a lot more time consume and expensive that those used for regular Chef Knives, the results however are very different and it is for this same reason that the Shun DM0707 Classic 10-Inch Chef’s Knife comes with a Life time warranty.

There were some people however that mentioned that they would not recommend this blade for people with smaller hands as they might feel the grip wasn’t suited for them.
However, there were also comments like this that were a counterargument to that statement : I just purchased the Shun knife from Kai a few weeks ago and plan to use it professionally. It is amazing. The weight of it in my hands was what sold me. I have small hands but still wanted a large, 10-inch chef’s knife. I was considering a Global until the salesperson put the Shun in my hand. I swung it around like a samurai sword and became giddy. The balance, weight, feel of the handle — all superb.
All in all we think that the only thing that should hold you back from buying this blade, is if you really feel that your hands are way too small for the grip of this blade. If not, we can definitely recommend this product to you.
