Shun DM0715 Classic 2.5" Bird's Beak Knife
ITEM#: DM0715
Product Overview
Shun Classic Bird’s Beak Knife is a precision-crafted specialty tool designed for decorative cuts and intricate peeling tasks. Whether you're shaping radish rosettes, fluting mushrooms, or peeling soft fruits like nectarines and plums, this knife offers exceptional control and finesse. Its unique curved blade allows for close, clean cuts along the surface of fruits and vegetables, minimizing waste while enhancing presentation—making it a must-have for chefs who value precision and visual appeal in their dishes.
The blade is crafted with a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, known for its wear resistance, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. This core is sharpened to a razor-sharp 16° double-bevel edge, enabling smooth, controlled slicing in even the most detailed tasks. Supporting the core are 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side, giving the blade not only increased strength and stain resistance but also its signature wavy appearance. This Damascus pattern also aids in food release, ensuring efficient prep with minimal sticking.
Lightweight and perfectly balanced, the knife features a full composite tang construction, providing stability without added weight. The D-shaped handle, made from ebony-finished PakkaWood, offers an ergonomic grip suitable for both right- and left-handed users. It is water-resistant, durable, and hygienic, making it as practical as it is elegant.
Handcrafted in Japan with Shun’s renowned attention to detail and traditional knife-making techniques, the bird’s beak knife blends refined performance with striking design. While it’s a specialty knife, its role in elevating culinary presentation makes it an essential addition for any chef focused on detailed work and aesthetics.
