Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ken Onion by Shun DM0500 8-Inch Chef's Knife
Customer Review: A Great Knife with One Exception
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a complete (over 20 piece) set of Wusthof Classics and I really thought that they were the best, until I received this knife as a Christmas gift. Absolutely great! It is very sharp, holds an edge well and is a dream to handle. The only problem that I've had with it is that the blade has stained slightly. I should be able to have a professional knife shop take the stains off, but I never had this problem with my other knives. Overall a fine knife and I plan to buy more, even though I have more chef knives that any one man should.
Description of Ken Onion by Shun DM0500 8-Inch Chef's Knife
Creating a new trend for knife design, this Shun chef's knife by Kershaw introduces some clever innovations for effortless yet accurate handling. The 8-inch Damascus blade features a generous tip, curved cutting edge, and wide surface area to easily handle any number of food prep tasks. The specially contoured bolster balances the blade while also releasing arm tension, smoothing movements, and maintaining optimal safety--perfect for a busy home chef. With forged VG-10 stainless-steel construction, the knife resists corrosion and rust and maintains an extremely sharp edge for years of use.Adding strength and beauty, the Pakkawood handle casts a deep, warm glow as it displays a lovely line that invites the home cook to pick it up again and again. The reward is a well-balanced, highly maneuverable tool that feels wonderfully at home in the hand without slipping or rubbing. This versatile knife was created by Ken Onion, one of the world's top knife designers. A wooden holder suspends the knife just above the long base so it won't dull the blade. The set comes in a handsome gift box. --Kara Karll
