KAI Shun Classic White DM701W Utility Knife 15 cm

The KAI DM701W Shun Classic White 15 cm utility knife is a versatile tool for everyday kitchen work. Positioned between a paring knife and a chef’s knife, it is well-suited for tasks that require both reach and control. The blade is ideal for slicing vegetables, trimming meat, and portioning fruit with accuracy. Its geometry ensures clean cuts with minimal resistance, and the lightweight, maneuverable design makes it effective for intricate, tip-driven work that larger knives find difficult to manage.

The handle is shaped for a stable grip during dicing or peeling. The balance between the blade and handle helps reduce fatigue during repetitive slicing. Its light-toned handle distinguishes it from traditional dark-handled cutlery, while the construction ensures the blade remains straight and secure for consistent performance. The knife’s compact dimensions allow it to be stored easily in blocks or on magnetic strips. The handle is built to withstand frequent, everyday use in a home kitchen.
