Shun Sora Santoku Knife 7, All-Purpose Asian-Inspired Food Prep Knife, Chef Knife Alternative

Elevate your knife collection with the Shun Cutlery 7-inch Sora Hollow Ground Santoku Knife, a popular Asian-inspired cooking knife renowned for its versatility. Featuring a shorter length than a standard chef's knife, this professional kitchen tool is designed to be light, agile, and easy to maneuver, with just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts. The hollow-ground indentations on the blade reduce friction, creating small air pockets that enable the knife to glide effortlessly through each cut. From basic kitchen cutting tasks to more intricate preparations, this knife can handle it all with ease.

Crafted with high-quality materials, the San Mai construction of the knife utilizes VG10 steel for a corrosion-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree cutting edge, supported by 420J stainless steel on the blade upper. The traditional full-tang handle is made of a textured PP/TPE polymer blend, offering a contemporary look while providing a strong, secure, and balanced grip.

Shun Fine Cutlery is deeply rooted in the tradition of Japanese blade craftsmanship, with each knife being handcrafted by highly skilled artisans in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry. The brand is dedicated to maintaining the ancient tradition of blade making, while also integrating modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to ensure that Shun quality is accessible to millions of professional chefs and home cooks around the world.
