The Kai Shun Classic Tranche Knife / Meat Knife 20 cm - DM-0703 is a high-quality knife designed for precise and smooth cutting of meat, poultry and other large pieces of food.

The ergonomic Pakka wood handle is shaped in a traditional D-mould, which provides a comfortable and stable grip even during longer cutting tasks.

FAQ

How do I maintain the Kai Shun Classic Trancheermes so it stays sharp for a long time?
A damascus-steel knife deserves a bit of extra care, and that pays off in years of cutting pleasure. These are the main maintenance tips: • Wash the knife by hand — use lukewarm water and a mild dish soap. Dry it immediately with a soft cloth. • Hone/ sharpen regularly — use a whetstone or a sharpening rod suitable for Japanese knives with a finer angle. This helps the blade retain its sharp edge. • Store it safely — a knife block, magnetic strip or protective sheath prevents damage to the damascus pattern and the cutting edge. The blade consists of VG-MAX stainless steel clad with 32 layers of damascus steel. That material is wear-resistant, but it does require careful hand cleaning.
Can I wash this Kai Shun Classic Trancheermes in the dishwasher?
No, do not wash the Kai Shun Classic Trancheermes in the dishwasher. The high temperatures, aggressive detergents and mechanical stress in a dishwasher are harmful to both the damascus-steel blade and the Pakkahout handle. The Pakkahout handle can warp or crack from prolonged exposure to moisture and heat. Always clean the knife by hand under lukewarm water and dry it immediately.
What cutting tasks is the Kai Shun Classic Trancheermes best suited for?
The Kai Shun Classic Trancheermes is specifically designed for precise, smooth slicing of larger pieces of food. Think of: • Meat — such as roasted beef, leg of lamb or a nice côte de boeuf • Poultry — carving chicken, turkey or duck neatly at the table • Other large pieces — such as fish fillets or terrines that require thin, even slices Thanks to the slim 20 cm blade there is little resistance while slicing, resulting in thin, even cuts. The knife is suitable for both professional chefs and home cooks seeking precision.
What is Pakkahout and why is it a good choice for the handle?
Pakkahout is a compressed wood material used especially for high-quality knife handles. It combines the warm look of wood with excellent durability and moisture resistance. Why does it work so well? • Stable grip — the handle is formed in a traditional D-shape, offering a comfortable and secure grip, even during longer cutting tasks • Durable — Pakkahout is strong, wear-resistant and keeps its shape with regular use • Traditional design — the D-shape is characteristic of Japanese knife craftsmanship and fits seamlessly with the Japanese tradition of the Shun Classic range The handle of this trancheermes is made from Pakkahout in a traditional D-shape for optimal grip and comfort.
Is this knife also suitable for people who are left- or right-handed?
The Kai Shun Classic Trancheermes features a handle in a traditional D-shape. This D-shaped grip is in most cases optimized for right-handed use: the shape conforms to the natural grip of the right hand. Left-handed cooks can use the knife, but may experience less ergonomic comfort than with a symmetrical or specifically left-handed handle. Kai offers left-handed variants for some models. The handle of this specific model is executed in the traditional D-shape for right-handed use.
