Los Angeles, CA (July 31, 2018)- IOShen has sought the input of chefs to produce the most affordable, high-end culinary knife essential for everyday needs. This dedication to bringing professional-grade tools for casual cooks while never compromising on quality is exactly what makes IOShen’s new Amazon storefront so exciting. It’s masterful knife making delivered straight to your doorstep.

Despite IOShen’s commitment to accessibility, IOShen knives are made with a handcrafted knife-making technique only found by two manufacturers worldwide- one is a Japanese manufacturer who only retails within Japan. The other, of course, is IOShen. This process involves an average of seven hours to complete and an intricate three layer construction for maximum sharpness and durability. While other manufacturers claim to produce hand-crafted knives, they charge $500-2000 per piece. IOShen won’t settle for such exclusionary price tags, and that’s why IOShen has received the award three times for Best Function and Value in a knife.

Especially popular among chefs in the United Kingdom, IOShen brings comfort and quality into its beautiful knives. Coupled with the knives’ incredible balance, IOShen’s unique Tai Tang handle is wrapped with a blend of 10 different materials to ensure comfort for brief or long periods of use. IOShen uses proprietary high end hardsteel blending to overcome the brittleness of hard steel, a flaw which leads to cracked hard steel and useless knives. IOShen’s diligence makes for the sharpest, most functional knife.
