Serrated, non-slip edge: the fine, uneven serration bites into slippery foods and keeps cuts steady, reducing slips and wobble.
Removable blade for thorough cleaning: detach the blade to wash away residues and maintain hygiene between tasks.
Durable, corrosion-resistant construction: stainless steel blade paired with an 18-8 stainless steel clamp delivers long-lasting performance; the handle uses heat-resistant polypropylene for safety and reliability.
Soft, comfortable, dishwasher-safe handle: the resin grip cushions impact during cut work and is dishwasher safe for easier cleanup.
Practical specs: 8.4 inches (213 mm) long, 3.5 inches wide, weighs 4.2 oz (122 g); blade and clamp are stainless steel, handle is polypropylene with a heat-resistance rating up to 286°F (130°C).
Ideal use cases for Kai® DH-3005 Kitchen Scissors
From precise herb snips to more demanding cuts, these shears excel in a busy kitchen. Use the thin blade for trimming green onions, herbs, or citrus zest with clean, accurate lines. Switch to the thicker blade when you need to cut through tougher fibrous bits or small stems without tearing. The serrated edge grips slippery foods, making it easier to handle tasks like deboning small fish portions or preparing chicken skin. The removable blade simplifies sanitation after seafood prep or messy tasks, and the soft handle minimizes hand fatigue during extended use. Why this Kai pair stands out
This isn’t just a basic pair of kitchen scissors. The dual-blade configuration eliminates the need to juggle multiple tools, while the serrated edge adds a secure grip on slippery foods. The removable blade design prioritizes hygiene and easy maintenance, and the robust stainless steel construction paired with a comfortable, dishwasher-safe handle makes it a reliable workhorse in any kitchen—whether you’re a home cook refining your technique or a professional who needs dependable performance in a compact tool. Care and maintenance tips
Detach the blade for thorough cleaning and dry all components thoroughly after washing. Hand-wash the blade and clamp if preferred, then reassemble. The handle is dishwasher safe, but frequent high-heat cycles should be avoided to preserve the finish. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep the blades sharp for longer.

The Kanetsune 7” (180mm) Gyuto brings authentic Japanese knife craftsmanship to your everyday kitchen, delivering precision, balance, and durability in a knife you can trust from prep to plate. With a 7-inch blade set in a compact 12-inch overall length, this gyuto excels in tight spaces while still offering the versatility you need for a wide range of tasks.

Edge: Plain (non-serrated) edge for clean, precise cuts and easy sharpening.
Handle: Ergonomically shaped wood handle with engineered wood core, paired with a protective plastic guard for safety and durability.
Construction: Made in Japan, boxed for gifting or storage, built from high-quality materials designed for performance and longevity.

This means smoother cuts, less drag, and more control at speed—whether you’re preparing a fine sashimi plate, dicing onions, or mincing garlic.

The gyuto’s Japanese design emphasizes balance and grace under pressure, giving you a confident, fluid cutting experience that’s harder to achieve with oversized Western blades.
How this knife compares to alternatives without naming names: the Kanetsune 7” Gyuto emphasizes a lighter, more responsive feel thanks to its optimized balance and hammer-marked blade. The plain-edge blade keeps maintenance straightforward, while the combination of wood and engineered-material handle delivers a comfortable grip that remains sturdy through long prep sessions. If you’re seeking a knife that blends traditional Japanese blade geometry with practical, everyday performance, this is it.
Care and maintenance tips to keep your knife performing at its best: hand wash and dry promptly to protect the blade’s finish; use a proper knife sharpener or stone to maintain the plain edge; store with the guard in place to protect the blade and your hands when not in use. With proper care, this knife will be a reliable workhorse in your kitchen for years to come.

Focused blade geometry: The single-edged Kiridashi design excels at delicate curves, fine lines, scribing, and precise material removal—ideal for small-scale projects and detail carving.
