Shun Sora 9" Bread Knife VB 0705

Get ready to be enamored by this exceptional bread knife. Whether you prefer a rustic, crusty bread or a soft and tender loaf, the Shun Sora 9" Bread Knife effortlessly cuts through to give you the perfect slice every time. What sets this bread knife apart is the way Shun has designed the serrations. Unlike typical jagged teeth, these serrations are razor-sharp "low-frequency" serrations. These wider serrations effortlessly glide through the bread. Take a closer look at the blade and you'll notice that the serrations lean forward on the front and backward on the back. This small adjustment makes a significant difference in cutting ease. The Shun Sora Ultimate Utility Knife is part of the Shun Sora line, offering exceptional handcrafted quality at an incredible price. Sora utilizes Shun's exclusive Composite Blade technology, combining a VG-10 san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. This technology strategically places high-performance material where it matters most - the edge. The two blade sections are laser cut and then expertly joined together using braze welding. The attractive wavy pattern at the joint is inspired by traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. While Sora's blade shapes and handle design stay true to Japanese tradition, the textured PP/TPE polymer blend handle material adds a contemporary touch. It provides a secure grip, excellent balance, and is easy to maintain.
