slicing knivesInspired by the graceful draw back Japanese cutting motion, each of

these blades is textured along the spine creating a stabilizing index

finger rest. The 9” slicer has a gentle curve that creates less drag

along the length of the blade, promoting a cleaner slice. The 9” bread

knife features a special reverse scallop edge that allows bread and

cake to be cut with the fewest crumbs.

go-to knivesCreated to be the knives you reach for the most, the Ken Onion “Go-To”

category is based on shapes that solve real problems for real chefs.

From a variation on the well-balanced and specialty Santoku shape,

to an inspired evolution of a do-it-all utility knife, to a graceful curved-

edge blade perfect for fish and poultry, these knives are more than a

specialized support cast. They are spotlight worthy all on their own.

most common places. The Ken Onion Detail Knives focus on design

enhancements to the small knives of the chef’s range, elevating their

function and performance to entirely new levels. Angled handles allow

you to mince, cut and pare without hitting your fingers on the cutting

board. A paring knife designed to work with the natural, towards-the-

body motion. A combo-edge blade that cuts ripe fruit as easily as it

bones delicate meat. These detail options will make you rethink the

role of your smallest knives.

The SKY range is constructed of one of the most advanced, durable

and rust-resistant steels. The blades are constructed of BD1N steel by

Carpenter Technology Corporation, which uses liquid nitrogen to create

a new type of stainless steel with a 63HRC rating. This results in one of

the best performing knives with one of the longest edge lives available in

kitchen cutlery. The G-10 handles have been bead-blasted to provide a

matte finish, and more durable, non-slip grip. The SKY pattern on the blade

emulates stratus cumulus clouds and continues Ken Onion’s tradition of

creating stunning and stick-resistant surfaces.

RAIN858.218.6443 | w

This popular range utilizes the newest technology to create

the most precision kitchen blades possible. RAIN knives

are created using American-made high-carbon stainless

steel that has been hardened up to 61HRC and laser-cut to

a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The blades are then treated with a

proprietary process that creates the stunning rain-drop pattern. The knives

are not only beautiful, but functional as well; the highs and lows of this

pattern reduce surface tension and prevent food from sticking to the blade.

The handles are made of G-10, a fiberglass-infused laminated resin material.

G-10 is heat and moisture-resistant, making it one of the most durable

materials possible for daily use.

The unique patent pending RECURVE Steak Knife is designed to

provide a clean cut that results in a better tasting steak. A piece of

steak cut with a sharp knife retains more of its juices and is more

flavorful, but ceramic dinner plates can easily dull an edge. Our unique

blade geometry allows the knife to say sharper longer by keeping

the main part of the cutting edge away from the surface of the plate.

The tip of the knife has a special reverse scallop serration that will

not tear the steak as it cuts.

The RECURVE Steak Knife is forged from high grade German

stainless steel with a durable handle material which is completely

dishwasher safe.
