Cutting Edge
KEN ONION BUILT a following among folding-knife collectors as the in-house knife designer at Kershaw. Now he's taking a whack at kitchen cutlery with his own Shun collection. The handles on these aggressive slicers meld into the blade, offering greater chop control. The utility knife is $135, the chef's is $195, and the santoku is $185 (broadwaypanhandler.com).
