Product Description:
The Ken Onion chef's knife is a design masterpiece - the ultimate cook's knife with a special, angled bolster with space for your index finger and thumb so you hold the knife the way it should be held (near the blade), just like a professional chef. Part of the Shun Classic line, this knife is made of VG-10 super steel that's composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon and vanadium. The 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel yield a rust-free Damascus look, giving the blade its unique wave-like pattern and helping to prevent sticking when slicing through meat, vegetables and fruits. With a Rockwell Hardness rating of 61, this knife is an incredibly sharp instrument. NSF approved. Included with your Ken Onion chef's knife is its own bamboo stand that not only protects the fine-honed edge but also displays it for all to admire.

About Shun Classic
  • Characterized by distinctive Damascus look pattern created by cladding 32 layers of SUS410 high carbon stainless steel over a central core of VG-10 steel- a Japanese super steel developed exclusively as a cutting steel, not used in other applications where stainless steel would be found (such as the base material for utensils or car parts etc.)
  • Damascus look is rust-free, easy to maintain and helps to make the blade stick resistant due to the microscopic air pockets created by cladding the 33 layers of metal together.
  • VG-10 “super steel” is composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon and vanadium. Its Rockwell hardness rating of 61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer.
  • D shaped Pakka Wood handle provides stability and ergonomic comfort while preventing the knife's handle from twisting in the hand during use.
  • NSF certified for restaurant use- very rare for a premium knife line to earn an NSF certification (please verify this yourself with other top quality knife lines)
  • Made in Japan by Kai, a company with a 700 year tradition as premier blade smiths.
  • Available standard in right handed styles or by special order in left handed versions
  • 8 styles featuring a 10 degree angled blade (known as Alton's Angles as Chef Alton Brown of the Food Network helped design them) also part of the Shun Classic line. 10 degree handle elevation keep knuckles clear of cutting board while in use
  • Lifetime warranty

    Excellent workmanship. Nice balance. A bit on the heavy side. Very sharp. A real trophy item for the kitchen.

    A piece of art
      Would purchase again
    by Randall (WINDOM, MN)  2/8/2007
    This knife has the sharpest and hardest edge out there. And the grip, while non-traditional to the western hand, is very comfortable.

    I own the high end Henckels and Wustoff products as well and they are outstanding too. The Ken Onion knife is twice as expensive and therefore it should be superior. If you can afford one, it makes cutting chores a pleasure, and is quite a conversation piece too.

    Sure, you can get a block set of fairly good quality knives for what this one knife costs. I'd take this knife. (Eventually add pearing and bread knives and you're set).

    Here's a trick to remember the next time you're cooking with something leafy like cilantro: to quickly separate the leaves from the stems, hold the stems in one hand and shave the leaves off with a super-sharp chef's knife.
