Shun Ken Onion 3-Piece Knife Set
A thoughtful wedding or housewarming gift, this three-piece knife set by Shun provides a useful collection of everyday favorites. The set consists of an all-purpose 8-inch chef's knife for chopping, slicing, dicing, and more; a 5-inch utility knife that works well for precise cuts like when trimming vegetables; and a 3-inch paring knife for peeling, coring, and other intricate work. The three stunning knives come securely stored in an elegant gift box that measures approximately 15-1/2 by 7-1/2 by 2 inches.As part of Shun's Ken Onion collection, the knives share the same high-quality materials as the Shun Classic line, but in a curvier form. Their enticing beauty starts with a VG-10 stainless-steel blade, which features 16 layers of SUS410/SUS431 stainless steel on each side, producing a 33 layered Damascus look, but without the rusting problems associated with Damascus. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife's aesthetic appeal, but it also prevents morsels from sticking and helps maintain the integrity of food when slicing. The knives' sleek good looks continue on into their ebony PakkaWood handles, which offer a generously arched, ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the palm of the hand for enhanced comfort and control. The knives' wide, gently rounded bolsters also ensure a correct grip, which helps alleviate hand strain even with large food-prep tasks. Made in Japan, the knives carry a limited lifetime warranty and should be hand washed for best results.
