Shun Ken Onion 5-Inch Utility Knife
Designed by Ken Onion, one of the world's top knife designers, this utility knife has a 5-inch blade for chopping, slicing, dicing, and more. The knife is clad with 16 layers of VG-10 Japanese super steel known for edge retention. It undergoes a special finishing process that leaves the layers exposed, creating a beautiful pattern that not only protects the VG-10 core, but simultaneously creates a blade surface that resists food sticking to it. The patent-pending design features a specially angled curved bolster and specially shaped handle that fits perfectly in the hand, releasing all arm tension in your arm. The unique blade allows for an easier flowing motion across the cutting board. Ken Onion's signature ergonomic handle is made of arched PakkaWood designed for comfort and control. The knife measures approximately 9 by 1-1/2 by 1/2 inches overall. Hand washing is recommended for this and all top-quality cutlery, and it comes backed by a lifetime warranty when purchased directly from Amazon.com.
