Russells For Men

The KAI Shun Classic Ken Onion 8" Chef's Knife was introduced by Kershaw at the 2005 Blade® Show where it was selected as the Kitchen Knife of the Year®. The knife utilizes the same blade steel and handle material used in the original Shun knives, but the comparisons stop there. Ken Onion is a handmade knifemaker who has been designing knives for Kershaw for a number of years. Drawing upon his years of knifemaking experience, he has created a knife that is touted by both the professional chef and the occasional weekend cook.

The handle fits the hand beautifully and the balance is extraordinary. You also receive a bamboo stand created just for this knife that not only protects its fine-honed edge, but also provides an elegant and convenient display on your kitchen counter.

The Damascus surface blade reduces sticking and therefore prep time. VG-10 super steel is clad with 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless on each side to produce a rust free Damascus blade steel. Ebony Pakkawood is used for the handles creating a striking package. Measures 12-3/4" overall and weighs 9.2 oz. Made in Japan. Suggested retail $250.00.
