The Ken Onion chef's knife is a design masterpiece - the ultimate cook's knife with a special, angled bolster with space for your index finger and thumb so you hold the knife the way it should be held (near the blade), just like a professional chef. Part of the Shun Classic line, this knife is made of VG-10 super steel that's composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon and vanadium. The 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel yield a rust-free Damascus look, giving the blade its unique wave-like pattern and helping to prevent sticking when slicing through meat, vegetables and fruits. With a Rockwell Hardness rating of 61, this knife is an incredibly sharp instrument. NSF approved. Included with your Ken Onion chef's knife is its own bamboo stand that not only protects the fine-honed edge but also displays it for all to admire.
