Shun SG0420 Elite Ken Onion 3-Inch Paring Knife
Quickly and easily pare and core fruit or vegetables, or create stunning garnishes like a pro; The Shun Elite Ken Onion 3 Inch Paring knife will become a daily go-to knife in your kitchen. Combining the strength and beauty of our Elite knives, and the ergonomic genius of our Ken Onion knives, you have what may the most incredible knife you’ll ever use! Our 3 inch paring knife follows the same design and elements of our Elite line. Shun Elite knives are extremely sharp and flexible; ideal for food preparation. But unlike the traditional blade, Shun Elite features a center layer of "super steel" called SG-2. This steel starts out in a powdered form. Under heat and pressure it combines to make a much denser alloy which in turn creates the finest molecular structure used in knife making today. The result is an edge that will hold longer than any other steel on the market. Made in the tradition of samurai sword making, Shun uses a 16 degree blade edge, making for a sharper, flexible blade. Shun Elite's superior edge will respond quickly and easily to a honing steel when it needs a quick touchup. For added strength and protection, the SG-2 is clad between two outer layers of quality 410A stainless steel for beauty and tireless handling. The handle is made in the Ken Onion style, one of the world’s top knife designers. This patent pending design features a special angled curved bolster and specially shaped handle that fits perfectly in the hand, releasing all tension in your arm. The extra curve on the blade allows for an easier flowing motion across the cutting board, and the tip allows for easier scooping. Combine all of this with the sharpest Japanese edge available, and you have perfection.
