By far the most essential kitchen knife out there is the Chef's Knife, so why not start your collection of Shun Sora with the elegant Chef's Knife? Hand crafted in Japan, this knife is made to resemble Japanese blades and handles. The Sora Chef's Knife is styled after the Japanese gyuto (closely equivalent to the Chef's knife) design and implemented less of a curve to the knife. This feature means more of the blade is in contact with the board at a time allowing more cuts per slice. The blade features a gentle roll off of the tip in comparison to the western styled Chef's knife. Once you try this form of Chef's knife, you will wonder how you ever got by without it. Shun Sora Knife is a one of a kind hand crafted knife. Crafted in the same style of the Shun Classic, the Sora offers spectacular quality, but now at an affordable price. These knives feature a wavy pattern on the joint, intended to replicate the traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. Crafted with stainless steel, these knives belong in every kitchen. These knives offer a PP/TPE polymer handle, giving a contemporary look and feel to the knife without sacrificing the grip or balance that these beautiful knives hold. - Steel - Black - Length 8 in - Sold Per Each
