  • Ken Onion's revolutionary knife designs are derived from his studies of chefs at work. The blades' curved spines facilitate cutting through a simple rocking motion. Uniquely shaped bolsters and contoured handles provide a natural grip that reduces hand fatigue.

    • Set includes a 3" paring knife, a 5" serrated utility knife and an 8" chef's knife.
    • VG-10 “super steel” blades are clad on each side with 16 microthin layers of high-carbon steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
    • Specially shaped handles increase control while decreasing fatigue.
    • Handles are made from resin-infused PakkaWood for lasting moisture resistance.
    • Handcrafted by Kershaw, premier cutlery makers for more than 90 years.
    • 3" paring knife: 3"-long blade; 4 1/2"-long handle; 2.5 oz.
    • 5" serrated utility knife: 5"-long blade; 4"-long handle; 3.8 oz.
    • 8" chef's knife: 8"-long blade; 4 3/4"-long handle; 9.5 oz.
    • Made in Japan.

  • Use

    • Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
    • Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
    • It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

    Care

    • Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
    • Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
    • Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, you should not need to sharpen your knife more than once or twice a year.
    • Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
    • Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
