Shun Ken Onion 7-Inch Cleaver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third Shun knife and my second Ken Onion. They come quite literally sharper than a razor in that the edge lasts longer and it unbelievably sharp. I sharpen mine about once a month. Sending to Kershaw would take way too long. Blade is heavy and very thick, great for cutting through bone (which is why I bought it) but still sharp enough to slice through bits of skin. If you want the images to remain longer clean them with a gentle toothbrush or they will come off over time. Ergo handle very comfortable to use. Also have the 7" santoku knife with same handle. Look very attractive sitting on the counter and ready for action when needed. Love it!

Created by Ken Onion, one of the world's top knife designers, this 7-inch Japanese-style cleaver makes a useful addition to any busy kitchen. Use the powerhouse tool for quickly and efficiently chopping through meat, bone, and vegetables with speed and grace. In addition to a sharp edge, the generous blade also provides a hole at the end for convenient hanging storage when not in use. Overall, the 7-inch cleaver measures approximately 12 by 1 by 3-1/2 inches.

As part of Shun's Ken Onion collection, the knife shares the same high-quality materials as the Shun Classic line, but in a curvier form. Its enticing beauty starts with a VG-10 stainless-steel blade, which features 16 layers of SUS410/SUS431 stainless steel on each side, producing a 33 layered Damascus look, but without the rusting problems associated with Damascus. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife's aesthetic appeal, but it also prevents morsels from sticking and helps maintain the integrity of food when slicing. The knife's sleek good looks continue on into its ebony PakkaWood handle, which offers a generously arched, ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the palm of the hand for enhanced comfort and control. The knife's wide, gently rounded bolster also helps ensure the correct grip, which alleviates hand strain even with large food-prep tasks. Made in Japan, the knife carries a limited lifetime warranty and should be hand washed for best results.
From the Manufacturer Curved blade belly for versatility when working at a variety of heights.
