Sora Chef's Knife 8” - Authentic Handcrafted Japanese Professional Kitchen Knife

Introducing the Shun Cutlery 8-inch Sora Chef's Knife, the ultimate addition to your kitchen knife collection. This Japanese knife, also known as a gyuto, is designed with a flatter blade compared to a traditional western chef's knife, allowing for increased contact with the cutting board and allowing you to slice through more food with each stroke. The gentle roll off the tip of the knife further enhances its efficiency, reducing the need to lift the blade.

The construction of the knife features the San Mai technique, in which the cutting edge is made from VG10 steel, known for its resistance to corrosion and razor-sharpness. The upper part of the blade is supported by 420J stainless steel. The handle is crafted using a blend of textured PP/TPE polymer, providing a contemporary look that is easy to maintain. It also offers a strong, secure, and balanced grip while using the knife.
