• Shun Ken Onion® Utility Knife – 5” (12.7cm)
• The wavy pattern on our blades is called a Damascus look; what gives it that pattern are 16 layers of SUS410 High Carbon Stainless Steel pounded by Shun to 3/1000th of an inch and then "clad" on each side of the VG10 core which gives the blade strength, stain resistance, and incredible cutting performance
• VG-10 - composed of Carbon, Chromium, Cobalt, Manganese, Molybdenum, Silicon, and Vanadium - a new type of stainless steel that has a higher density allowing the steel to be tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61, and still have the flexibility and strength to take and keep a perfect edge
• The cutting edge is ground to an angle of 16 degrees making them extremely sharp; compared to most high-end knives, which are only ground to only 22 degrees
• Blade profile reduces sticking, resulting in less damage to the food being cut and allowing for faster prep times
• Unique Ken Onion blade sweep
• The exotic Japanese steels used in the cutting core allow them to hold these razor sharp edges without the need for excessive re-sharpening
• Black ergonomic-design PakkaWood handle
• Stainless steel bolsters and endcaps
• Dishwasher safe – hand washing recommended
• Limited Manufacturers Lifetime Warranty
• Caution, extremely sharp blade - to be used by those able or comfortable with Professional Grade cutlery

Yet the tradition of fine blade manufacturing goes back even further.  KAI factories are located in Seki City, ’s famous samurai sword making center. The blade smiths of Seki City have been producing the worlds finest, sharpest steel for more than 700 years.  Working with modern technology, many of the descendents of those ancient blade smiths continue that tradition of excellence today at KAI.
