Product Description
Shun Knives by Kershaw are designed by Ken Onion, one of the worlds top knife designers. This Shun Ken Onion 3-piece set features our unique offset bolster design to fit your hand like a glove. The wider bolster is designed with contour curved thumb and forefinger rests to reduce tension while cutting. The extra curve on the blade allows for an easier flowing motion across the cutting board. You'll be slicing and carving like an expert with control and confidence. The knife is made of VG-10 steel and layered with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side of the blade. During the finishing process the layers are exposed creating a beautiful pattern that not only protects the VG-10 core, it simultaneously creates a blade surface that resists food sticking to it, a real time-saver for kitchen prep. Combine all of these features with the sharpest Japanese edge available, and you have perfection. This set includes the following three Shun Ken Onion knives: 3-inch Paring knife DM0516, 4-inch Chef's knife DM0510 and the 7-inch Hollow-Ground Santoku knife DM0517. Manufactured in Seki City Japan, the home of Shun knives.

Really Helpful Knife Set,
By Sound sleeper "John" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shun Ken Onion 3-Piece Knife Set (Kitchen)
The first point I want to make is: these are some very sharp knives. The blade is incredible, so much so that I wanted to put that first, just so you'd know. I was looking for some knives to round out my collection, and wanted them mostly for fine cutting of veggies, and of fruit for garnishing, and for general kitchen prep that doesn't demand a giant chef's knife, fine detail work. I really wanted knives that were comfortable and perfectly balanced, and that were flexible enough for different types of tasks. After searching, I decided on these, because I liked the range of blades, and because I've been making a lot of veggie heavy Asian dishes--these seemed perfect. And, they've worked wonderfully, and have that balance and comfort level that makes chopping a whole bowl of carrots a pleasure, and not a chore. And the edges: so sharp, and they don't seem to be losing any of the sharpness yet. Overall, I'm very happy with this set.

Nice set,

This review is from: Shun Ken Onion 3-Piece Knife Set (Kitchen)
Shun makes the best kitchen knives I have ever owned, bar none. The Ken Onion designs are uniquely ergonomic and very functional. They all come with a razor sharp edge right out of the box and are easy to re-hone with just a few strokes on a steel (a Shun steel is well worth purchasing to accompany this set). The weight and balance of all these knifes are perfect, even the smallest one, and the perfectly crafted profiles chop or slice through darn near anything (food-like anyway) with ease. I strongly recommend using a quality hardwood or bamboo chopping board to protect your investment. Courion or other hard substances are much harder on the blade edge; you'll have to resharpen it much more often.

Need a holder,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shun Ken Onion 3-Piece Knife Set (Kitchen)
Great set of knives for people who need to fill out their empty knife-blocks. We had been admiring Shun knives for the longest time, but we cannot afford to put down >$500 for a set of knives at one time. Therefore, we told advantage of the lightning deals and bought these immediately. Beautifully constructed. Will now start to fill out my own Shun Ken Onion series!
