Ken Onion Series combine the non-stick VG-10 blade with Ken Onion's signature ergonomic handle design and the unique blade sweep found only in a Ken Onion knife. The result is a series of knives that are not only beautiful to look at, but a pleasure to use. The Ken Onion features the same clad VG-10 blade made famous in the Shun line. This nonstick blade is extremely sharp and durable-ideal for slicing and dicing. This five-inch serrated utility knife combines Shun technology and a lusciously curved black handle by award-winning custom knife designer Ken Onion. Made of a hardwood-resin fusion known as Pakkawood, the handle is designed to be truly ergonomic in order to increase control and reduce fatigue during long stretches of chopping, mincing, and slicing. The Damascus-style ripples on the blade create air pockets that release food quickly, and the pointed tip aids in digging out potato eyes or fruit blemishes. The serrated edge is excellent for slicing bread, tomatoes, and cheese, and any home chef who loves creating gourmet sandwiches would be honored to receive this gift-boxed beauty. Shun knives, made in Japan by KAI (Kershaw Cutlery), are quite possibly the sharpest knives on the market. A Shun edge, formed to an acute 16-degree angle, won't bend or waver due to the hardness of the VG-10 steel core used in its construction. [+]

Made from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at-much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. The 9-inch serrated blade of this left-handed bread knife comfortably accommodates everything from rustic artisan breads to baguettes-even dessert items such angel food cake or chocolate tart. Like many Asian-style knives, the knife's handle is especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun's are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, which provides extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. Hand washing the knife is recommended. [+]

Comfortable to hold and razor-sharp, the 8-in. Deli Knife by Wusthof slices cheese and meat - even deli-high sandwiches - with ease. The offset blade lets you get even slices in a single motion, especially with harder foods that require a little more leverage. The blade is slightly serrated so food is left intact. The Culinar knife from Wusthof features a high-carbon stainless steel blade, hardened to maintain a sharp edge, with a full tang that provides perfect balance. The seamless fit between handle, bolster and full-tang is totally hygienic. An invaluable asset to any kitchen, the knife is made in Solingen, Germany, where each piece is hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen.

Only a blade with a serrated edge slices effortlessly through crispy baguettes, crunchy bread, and even crusty roasts. The precision forged blade, bolster, and tang are married to the incredibly durable Hostaform-C handle, triple-riveted to the fully-visible tang. Made in Solingen, Germany, Wüsthof knives offer a harmonious blend of precision cutting performance, integrity of materials, safety, and comfort. The knife is hot-drop forged by hand from a single blank of high carbon no-stain steel, a specially alloyed surgical steel consisting of exacting proportions of carbon, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. The blade is perfectly tapered from bolster to tip, and from the back of the blade to the edge, and is honed by hand. Perfect balance is assured by the full extension of the tang through the length of the handle. A seamless, totally hygienic fit is achieved by the durable Hostaform-C handle, triple-riveted to the fully visible tang; the handle is buffed and polished by hand. Dishwasher safe, although hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended.

The unique reverse-scallop edge on this 9-inch bread knife blade cuts on both the push and pull strokes and creates surprisingly few crumbs. A member of Shun's fabulous Elite collection, the knife features a sleek black PakkaWood handle, made of a hardwood-resin fusion, which showcases an inlaid traditional Japanese emblem and fine rings of copper and brass near the bolster. A distinctive flourish, called a "hamon," along the edge of the blade recalls the samurai swords once made in Seki City, Japan, where Shun Elites are handcrafted. A baker or enthusiast of artisan breads would feel honored to receive this exceptional, gift-boxed knife. Shun Elite knives stand out for their incredible sharpness, sharper even than Shun Classics, thanks to the newest powdered steel alloy known as SG-2. The process used to make SG-2 results in a fine-grained, very dense blend of ingredients that creates a smooth-as-silk knife edge. Shun edges are formed to an unusually keen 16 degree angle, which is one reason they're so prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Japanese cuisine. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun Elite knives should be washed and dried-carefully-by hand, and stored when possible in a wooden block to protect the blade. -Ann Bieri Shun Elite is an innovative combination of aesthetics and performance in kitchen cutlery. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, the center of the ancient samurai tradition, Elite???s stunning design is directly inspired by the artful aesthetics of samurai swords, down to the smallest detail.
