Shun Ken Onion 4-Piece Steak Knife Set

Product Review

The Shun Ken Onion 4 Piece Steak Knife Set has the same premium materials and design of the Shun Classic knives, but with more curves. The blades - made of VG10 steel core wrapped in 16 layers of Damascus stainless steel with a super sharp 16-degree cutting edge - curve so you can make precision cuts from any height. The PakkaWood handles fit comfortably in any hand reducing muscle strain and increasing control. A bead-blasting process that create a beautiful wood grain pattern, which also reduces friction and prevents food from sticking to the blade. As a whole, these knives are durable, corrosion resistant pieces of cutlery. This set is perfect for your next family dinner or dinner party. These knives are elegant and rip through beef or any meat cleanly and with little effort.

I have purchased a Shun Ken Onion 4-Piece Steak Knife Set before from another source. I am very pleased with those knives, as I am sure I will be pleased with these. However, I was disappointed when the set arrived and they were in a black cardboard box instead of the bamboo box as depicted in the picture. I was giving these as a gift and the set would have made a better presentation in the bamboo box. I would hope that in the future, the picture of the set of knives would be shown in the box they will arrive in...so there is no misunderstanding or disappointment.

According to KAI USA, manufacturer of this product, Model KOS0400 is a set that includes a Bamboo storage/presentation box:

[...]

This box was NOT included in my order. Amazon should change the picture and disclose the box is not included even though the manufacturer lists that the exact part number includes the presentation box. This is misleading.
