Micro-Chipping

[HughJardon]

I have a Ken Onion, Shun Chef's knife that is micro-chipping in several places. What causes this? Is this a common problem?

Thanks!!

Haven't heard anyone mention this with a Shun, but microchipping isn't uncommon with new knives. If you still have a problem after you've given it a thorough sharpening a time or two, contact Kershaw, I'm certain they'll take care of you.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it will stop after I take some metal off...

They are very fine knives but not designed for chopping bones of chickens etc. If you have not abused it then perhaps it's a HT problem.

Just grind the bevels to a slightly more obtuse angle. That should resolve it for you.
