The Shun Ken Onion 7″ Santuko Knife by KAI USA is the absolute pinnacle of culinary cutlery design and technology. Though the Shun knife forging process involves a style of Kasumi which is used to fashion samurai swords, the unimaginable precision means there will be no more battling with your food; even people with small hands have complete control over this large chef’s knife.
You can read Shun 101 to learn how this masterpiece was made, but I have to warn you, your head might explode. I’ll break it down… designed by Ken Onion, arguably the most renowned knife designer in the world, forged from VG-10 Super Steel in a process that refines to molecular perfection, and sharpened to a 16 degree cutting edge (compared to the “dull” 22 degrees of their German counterparts). In the end you’re left with a knife like no other. Armed with the Shun Ken Onion Santuko even the most culinary inept will be a samurai in the kitchen.
