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

Customer Review: Amazingly sharp and useful...
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an extremely well shaped knife, nothing like your average paring knife. It is more like a mini santoku knife in the way it operates. It chops, dices and pares with ease and is extremely easy to handle. I had thought the weight of the knife would make it less capable, but it does not. It cuts through everything with aplomb.

As far as the rust report by another individual. We have not seen that at all. We, of course, do not wash it in a dishwasher. Not sure if they did. But ours shines like new.

Note that at times, some rust can poke through on a knife made of carbon steel. Usually a good scrubbing gets rid of it. But we have not seen that at all on these knives.

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..
