This is another model of Shun knives. It was designed by Ken Onion, hence the name of the line. Ken wanted to develop and design a kitchen knife from scratch. The design is based on ergonomics, control, and aesthetics. The series uses the same steel as the Shun Classic. The difference lies in the shape of the blade. The blade’s spine is scooped on the top and the edge is also curved so that you can enhance the rocking motion when you chop. Plus, the handle is placed at the top of the blade to protect your knuckles when you chop on the cutting board. For the adventurous who want to try something new, this line is definitely for you.
For the past four years, the Shun Knives and cutlery tools have tremendously grown in popularity. The newer lines feature many innovative design improvements and unique features that no other brands posses. If you need to resharpen your knives, just send it over to the company so that they can doit for free. This service is exclusive for the Shun users.
You will notice that the Kershaw models of knives feature a layered steel construction so that the knives are given a razor sharp, hard knife edge. The Pakka Wood D-shaped handle makes it fit in your hand better than traditional handles out in the market. You will notice that it was designed to fit your grip, no matter what hand you use for chopping. Try it and see just how amazingly efficient it is.
