Shun Sora 7" Hollow Ground Santoku Knife Black VB0718

The santoku knife is a popular choice among cooks today. It is an Asian-inspired knife that is versatile and can handle various kitchen cutting tasks. Some people even prefer it over a chef's knife. The Shun Sora 7" Santoku is slightly shorter than a standard chef's knife, making it light, agile, and easy to maneuver. It has a slight curve that allows for rocking cuts, adding to its versatility. The blade has hollow-ground indentations, also known as a Granton edge, which allows it to glide through food effortlessly. The Shun Sora Ultimate Utility Knife is part of the Shun Sora line, offering exceptional handcrafted quality at an affordable price. It features Shun's proprietary Composite Blade technology, combining a VG-10 san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. This technology ensures high-performance cutting where it matters most, at the edge. The two blade sections are laser cut and then joined together using braze welding, creating a strong and durable blade. The joint of the blade has an attractive wavy pattern inspired by traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. While the blade and handle design are traditional Japanese, the handle material is a textured PP/TPE polymer blend, providing a modern look, a secure grip, and easy maintenance.
