Looking at the shill site these knives look like standard Japanese fold not 
Damascus or patternweld.  I went to Kershaw's page and it doesn't say if 
they own Kei and the Shun brand or just market it.  Either way I'd be 
willing to give it a test, especially since they also have some of the 
traditional Japanese blade shapes.
