Shun Chef's Knife

This is the place to start your Shun Sora collection: the Sora Chef's Knife. It's used for all the same purposes as a chef's knife-all-around food preparation. This shorter length is particularly lightweight and highly maneuverable. Of course, like all chef’s knives, it is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks-slicing, dicing, and chopping small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods. But the Sora Chef's has less curve than a Western chef's knife, which means it contacts the cutting board along with more of its length, so more food is cut per slice. With its curved belly, this Chef's knife can also be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Chef's Knife's Asian-style blade is light and agile. The Sora has a gentle roll off the tip compared to the large roll of a Western-style knife, so the Sora needs to be lifted less, making cutting more efficient. Once you try the Sora Chef's Knife, you'll wonder what you ever did without it. The must-have kitchen knife.
