Does the pairing knife have the embossed/capped metal end like the Santoku Chef knife does?

My set does NOT have the cap like the Chef knife does. There is a silver circle in the center. The picture is accurate.

No the pairing knife does not have a capped end. It is wood all the way out and you can see the circular tang when you look at the back of the knife.

No, It does not. The ones with that image on them are copies of the original. This is an authentic knife it comes with the proper box as well. Well worth it.

I have checked it against the ones my mom and grandma have and they are identical in every detail! It is a very good knife! I recommend it to anyone looking for a good all purpose knife!

Yes it does. The asist open knives are fantastic! I have bought several different models.

No, but it opens nicely with a flick of the thumb studs, sweet little knife for the price. Nice quality!

Yes, the one I received a month ago was. Didn't have any problems until the end cap came off and I got some painful splinters in my hand.

Mine is stamped with the Shun logo on one side, and either the KAI or Kershaw label (probably KAI in fine lettering - I don't have it in front of me, unfortunately). There's also the samurai crest emblem in the center of the handle, as you can see.Oh, also - just to clarify. To my understanding, KAI is the Japanese parent company which owns Shun, Pure Komachi 2, Wasabi, Seki Magoroku and possibly other knife brands. Kershaw is the American distributor / partner company with KAI Japan.

Don't know, but guessing same knife, but different packaging. Both do get abt the same ratings.

I don't have a bread knife, which is probably serrated, but the rest is not. Santoku knife is kind of sculptured, but the cutting edge is straight on all of them.

Hi Mark, Yes it does. But it is of low quality and the two dont go together. It does serve a purpose to keep you from slicing open your hand. Thats about it....nylon.canvas and Velcro. The knife is amazing.

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.

Yes it does. Not high quality in fact my knife cut through the sheath, so be careful.

No - The slicing and coring tool is an integrated stainless steel piece. Only the handle is removable via releasing two buttons to facilitate cleaning.

No, the one I received was made by tenryu and is a musashi model, its hand forged but not differentially hardened, the tempering is fake lije acid etched or something, still good though strong, balanced and sharp!

No, there's a picture of how the tang sits in the handle on their website if you're curious but it tapers off. Regardless, I've found this knife to be plenty durable for everything I've used it for so far.
