The Shun Sora Chef's Knife with an 8" blade is a must-have for every kitchen. This style of knife is called a gyuto in Japan. The Shun Sora Chef's Knife serves the same purpose as you would use any other chef's knife—all-around food preparation. However, unlike a Western chef's knife, this knife has a little less curve to it. This shape means that the blade makes contact with the cutting board for more of its length, so that more food is cut per slice. The Sora has a gentle roll off the tip so that you don't have to lift the knife as often as you would any other chef's knife, making it more efficient and less tiring. You will find yourself reaching for this knife more often than not. Get yours today!
