Shun Classic -
The Ken Onion 8" Chef's Knife

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 this handsome knife to perfection.

The Ken Onion Chef's Knife is an incredible new ergonomic knife from Kershaw Cutlery. In collaboration with master knife craftsman, Ken Onion, Kershaw developed this 8-inch Japanese Chef's Knife to launch its forthcoming line of ergonomic kitchen knives. The Ken Onion Chef's Knife features a distinctively shaped handle that fits perfectly in the palm, and a specially angled bolster that helps relieve tension in your arm for fatigue-free cutting.

Ken Onion designed this Japanese knife based on cutting techniques employed by professional chefs and developed this Chef's Knife to facilitate smooth cutting and comfortable handling. The Ken Onion Chef's Knife is a special piece of cutlery... and is treated accordingly. The unique bamboo stand not only protects the fine-honed edge, but also displays it beautifully. Like traditional Japanese knives, it features a slender blade that is designed for precision and speed - not heavy-handed chopping. For lifelong use, it should not be used on glass, marble or Corian surfaces, and should be hand washed.
