The Shun Sora 6.5-inch Master Utility Knife has a blade shape created by Shun. This knife blade is a multi-functional combination of a chef's knife and a standard utility knife, with a blade wider than that of a typical utility knife. Smaller than a typical chef's knife, the Master Utility Knife is agile and adept at tackling smaller tasks.
Honoring the traditional, high-end Japanese knife-making technique of san mai, the Shun Sora Utility Knife features a VG10 "super steel" razor-sharp 16-degree double-bevel edge blade clad with a single layer of stainless steel on each side. The Sora's VG10 san mai and stainless blade are laser cut and fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, permanently braze welded to provide performance and beauty. The blade is finished with bead blasting to highlight the san mai edge and echo the line of the braze welding.
Each Shun Sora knife handle is made of textured TPE polymer to provide excellent grip and balance without sacrificing ease of maintenance. The stainless steel Shun logo on the handle further enhances the balance of this beautiful knife.
Engraving: Up to 10 characters can be laser engraved on this utility knife.
