The Shun Ken Onion 8"Chef's Knife is a beautiful all purpose chef's knife, with Ken Onion's distinctive design features.It can be used for cutting, chopping and all types of prep work and comes with a bamboo stand (which protects the knife while displaying it beautifully).
The Shun Ken Onion knives have Ken Onion's signature ergonomic handle design and unique blade sweep.They have blades made of 16 layers of steel on each side, with a VG-10 Super Steel (containing carbon, chromium, cobalt, magnesium, molybdenum,silicon and vanadium) core, which results in a 33 layer, rust free Damascus look blade. The handles are made of PakkaWood which is an ebony black composite material made of fused hardwood and resin. It is durable, beautiful and allows for a secure grip.
Ken Onion Knives have an angled bolster which extends over the spine to create a smooth and rounded bolster instead of the rough spine seen on other blades. Each side of the bolster has an inner curve which forms a prefect thumb and index finger rest.In addition the handle curves downward, to more closely match the shape of the hand and to close the gap between the hand and handle created by other knives. The end result is a handle which allows people with small hands to feel they have control over a larger knife.
As well as having the sharpest factory edge available and maintaining that sharp edge exceptionally well, Shun knives by KAI look elegant and are perfectly balanced for fast, effortless cutting.
