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

Introducing the Shun Cutlery 8-inch Sora Chef's Knife, the essential addition to your kitchen knife collection. Also known as a gyuto, this Japanese knife offers a unique blade design that sets it apart from its Western counterpart. Unlike a traditional chef's knife, the gyuto boasts a less curved blade that makes contact with the cutting board along a greater length. This allows for more efficient slicing, as each stroke cuts through a greater amount of food.

The Sora Chef's Knife also features a gentle roll off the tip, reducing the need for excessive lifting and further enhancing its cutting efficiency. Its San Mai construction combines the durability of 420J stainless steel on the blade upper with the corrosion resistance and razor-sharpness of VG10 steel on the cutting edge, which is sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle. This ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Designed for comfort and durability, the knife boasts a full-tang handle made from a textured blend of PP/TPE polymers. This contemporary handle not only offers a secure grip, but it also adds a touch of elegance to your kitchen. Its balanced design allows for effortless maneuverability during food preparation.

Shun Fine Cutlery takes pride in upholding the rich tradition of Japanese craftsmanship. Each knife is meticulously handcrafted by highly skilled artisans in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry. Combining ancient traditions with modern technology and premium materials, Shun delivers unparalleled quality and beauty.

The Shun 8-inch Sora Chef's Knife is perfect for the discerning chef or home cook, with its versatility in handling meat, vegetables, fruit, and more. Enhance your culinary experience with this must-have kitchen essential.
