The KAI Shun Classic Ken Onion 8" Chef's Knife was introduced by Kershaw at the 2005 Blade® Show where it was selected as the Kitchen Knife of the Year®.

Ken Onion is a handmade knifemaker who has been designing knives for Kershaw for a number of years.

These Italian made picnic tools are based on a design that in Depression Era America became called a Hobo Knife.

The word Hobo became a name used to describe these travelers.

For those of you who are tired of the standard black handles on kitchen knives, but weren't really taken with our white corian-like handles, we have created a series with VG-10 Core Damascus blades and solid, natural Cocobolo handles. We have re-designed the shape of the handle to provide a bit more fullness in the palm of the hand.

This series of kitchen knives is based on designs that I began almost 20 years ago. We had to bring together the designs, the right steel, the handle material and the people to make the knives. The steel is a very special high carbon stainless tool steel containing enough tungsten to assure real edge holding. The handles are a very dense, very dark, laminated wood that will give 100 years of service if they are treated with a little care.
