Shun Cutlery Sora Utility Knife 6", Narrow, Straight-Bladed Kitchen Knife Perfect for Precise Cuts, Ideal for Preparing Sandwiches or Trimming Small Vegetables, Handcrafted Japanese Knife

Description

Add one of the top 3 must-have kitchen knives to your collection with the Shun
Sora 6-inch Utility Knife. In between a chef’s knife and a paring knife with a
narrow, straight blade, this cooking knife is an ideal tool for small tasks
where precise cuts are needed such as trimming broccoli, green beans or other
small vegetables. They’re also called sandwich knives because they work well
for almost every task involved in making a sandwich – from cutting thin-
skinned vegetables like tomatoes to preparing meats and cheeses. The San Mai
construction uses 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 to
provide an easy-to-maintain, contemporary look and offer a strong, secure,
balanced grip. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it’s a tradition.
Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine
Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is
handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled
quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-
the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs
and avid home cooks throughout the world.
