Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this Japanese boning knife comfortably handles fish, poultry, and other meats with equal ease. Featuring a smooth, razor-sharp edge that curves downward from its handle to finish with a piercing tip, this knife measures 6 inches in length.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold

This stunningly beautiful line of cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times.

This review is from: Shun DM0710 Classic 6-Inch Boning Knife (Kitchen)
I recently added this knife to my rather extensive collection of over 100 knives. I like the way this knife is balanced and the way that it fits the hand -- there are right and left handed models. A boning knife is not the first knife to buy. After you have your basic assortment of knives this knife is a nice addition. If you are planning to bone a leg of lamb or a pork shoulder etc. this knife has no equal. It can be used to disjoint a chicken or a turkey as well. Shun knives are always razor sharp so expect an effortless experience as you use this knife.
I have discovered a small quirk with this knife. As is true with many 6 inch boning knives the weight of the blade is not sufficient to tip the knife blade down when placed on a cutting board or counter top so it stays flat and parallel to the work surface. Since the handle is rounded and very smooth the knife may spin away from position as you lay it down. In other words if you were not paying attention the blade could end up where the handle was and you could cut yourself. This is not really a problem as I just lay it on a kitchen towel if I am going to pick it up and set it down many times. Aside from this little quirk I would highly recommend this knife for a cook that would like to do their own boning.

This review is from: Shun DM0710 Classic 6-Inch Boning Knife (Kitchen)
This is my 4th or 5th Shun. Like all the others it is well balanced, sharp (of course), has a good sized handle for holding and maneuvering. Curvature and stiffness of the blade is excellent for boning jobs. Like all the other Shun knives it's a beauty.

This review is from: Shun DM0710 Classic 6-Inch Boning Knife (Kitchen)
I believe if you're serious about cooking, you should own great cookware and excellent knives. I finally stepped up and got excellent knives. For those who haven't heard the hype, Shun is one of the most respected knife brands in the world.
Great features of the entire line include these cool "D" shaped handles that fit your hand better. Each knife is made in a right- and left-handed version ([...] for lefties). The steel used for the blades is harder than what you would find in most other knives. The knives are EXTREMELY sharp. If you're building your set and want to take care of the must-haves first. Move this down on your priority list. Get the chef's, paring and bread knives first. With that said, there is a place for this knife in your kitchen. As with all of my other Shun knives, this one is extremely sharp and it's relatively light. This is an expensive, but lifetime investment. I encourage you to visit stores and feel the knives in your hand to make sure you are comfortable with them. For more info on Shun, check out Alton Brown's website. For ratings on various brands and types of knives, check out Cooks Illustrated's equipment ratings. This is my first and I'm sure last boning knife. As with all Shun's, it is extremely sharp -- a must for a good boning knife. I was surpised by the knife's weight. Although the blade is flexible, the knife feels heavy for it's size. This gives me (a true novice at deboning and filleting) more confidence. The famous D-shaped handle makes the knife easier to grip than other boning knives, but it can slip when greasy.
