Custom knife designer Ken Onion created this line of super-sharp kitchen knives for Shun, a high-end brand of Japanese-made cutlery. Stunningly beautiful, the knives grab attention for both their curvaceous handles and the ripple designs on their blades, a style known as Damascus that creates tiny air pockets that help prevent food from sticking. The reason the knives are so sharp is the keen 16 degree angle of the blade, made possible because of the very hard VG-10 steel core clad in 32 layers (16 on each side) of high-carbon stainless steel. Carefully designed by Onion to be ergonomic and comfortable for chefs who are either tall or short, left- or right-handed, the handles are made of a resin and hardwood fusion, called PakkaWood, and provide excellent, tension-free control of the blades during long bouts of chopping, slicing, and paring. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Ken Onion by Shun knives should be carefully washed and dried by hand, then stored in a wooden block if possible.

 "Professional-Quality Knives" 2008-08-26
By C. J. Jenkins
The Shun Ken Onions are definitely professional-quality knives. Straight from the factory, the cutting edge perfectly slices through a piece of paper and actually slices through a piece of cardboard with just a little more pressure. The feel in the hand is extremely comfortable. The contouring helps with that comfortable feel.



Normally I wouldn't buy a set of knives but would rather buy individual knives as needed, but the selection of knives (8" Chefs, 5" Utility, 10" General Purpose, 3" Paring, and Kershaw Kitchen Shears) is perfect for all-round utility. The knife set comes with a bamboo knife block that is both functional and stylish. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this set and expect it to last several generations at least.

 "Excellent product!!" 2007-08-26
By K. Hasard (New York, NY)
I bought this block set a month or so ago, and I love the knives!! Razor sharp, good balance, very comfortable and secure grip. I use the serrated slicer daily on home baked bread, I can slice the bread potato chip thin if I like. The Chef and utility knives are really nice and work super. The paring knife took some getting used to because of the angle of the blade to the handle. A short learning period though, and now it seems like an extention of my hand. The bamboo block is a nice piece of craftsmanship, and with the attractive knife handles sticking out looks great. Note the angles cut into the sides of the block itself, they let the knife rest in a completely safe and secure manner. I added the 7" Ken Onion Santoku, and it fit in an empty slot like it was made for it. The included steel has an angled finger guard that is the correct angle for honing your knives, reducing the guess work. Bottom line, if you are comfortable spending this much money for kitchen knives, I recommend this set completely. They replaced a 30+ year old block set of L.C. Germain knives, I held on to two of those and they fit in the block as well.



The products arrived promptly, and really well packaged. The outer sellers box kept the inner product box undented. The knives came wrapped very well, and were perfect when I opened them very carefully. The block is heavy as it should be, and that was packaged so it didn't shift at all. The separate Santoku knife was packaged surprizingly well, in a really handsome box. I am completely satisfied with these knives, the block, the quality, sharpness, fit and finish of this set is completely perfect. High quality tools to last a long, long time. Totally happy with Amazon.com once again! One baffling thing... the two screwdriver like blades in the handles of the kitchen shears. I am completely at a loss to figure out what they are for. The shears disassemble for easy cleaning as well, a side benefit for sure. I'm glad I bought this knife set!
