Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Ken Onion 3-Inch Paring Knife

Customer Review: One nice knife
Summary: 5 Stars

This 3 inch paring knife is easily 5 stars. It seems a bit pricy when you realize that for only a few dollars more you can get the much bigger Shun Ken Onion knives, but this is a very handy size and much easier to manipulate and cut stuff than some of the larger knives. Especially if you have not been trained as a professional chef. The blade is very nice looking with the Damascus looking ripples in the blade. It has a 3/4 shank. The bolsters are very well made and fit both the blade and handles very well. The handle looks to made out of some sort of dark wood, possibly Ebony. The feel of the contoured handle is very comfortable and the angle of the blade to the handle seems well thought out. Over all this is a very good knife and I think if you do a lot of cooking this one is well worth the money.

Description of Shun Ken Onion 3-Inch Paring Knife

This 3-inch Paring Knife offers such precision and control, it will improve meal presentation and reduce waste. The sharp blade makes it effortless to peel even slippery foods like kiwi while leaving most of the fruit intact. The wavy, Damascus pattern allows the blade to glide through foods without sticking. The stainless handle is unique to this line and provides comfort and control. Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of a proprietary blend of high-carbon stainless pounded so thin, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun cutlery maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet when required, it can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade creates minute air pockets that offer stick resistance, so food releases easier and prep time is reduced--plus it's rust-free. The Shun Steel line features an attractive stainless steel handle, formed in the same "D" shape as the Classic knives, for comfort and control. The seamless construction provides a sleek look while also being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens. Shun Steel knives are suited for right-handed users only..
