Handcrafted Japanese Sora Santoku Knife for All-Purpose Food Prep

Elevate your collection of kitchen knives with the addition of the Shun Cutlery 5.5-inch Sora Hollow Ground Santoku Knife, one of the most popular Asian-inspired cooking knives available. This professional kitchen knife is designed to be shorter than a standard chef’s knife, making it light, agile, and easy to maneuver. It features just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, making it versatile enough to handle all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. The hollow-ground indentations on the side of the blade create small air pockets that reduce friction while cutting, allowing the blade to glide effortlessly through food.

The high-quality construction of this knife includes a San Mai edge construction that uses VG10 steel for a corrosion-resistant, razor-sharp cutting edge, supported by 420J stainless steel on the blade upper. The traditional, full-tang handle is made of a textured PP/TPE polymer blend, providing a contemporary look that is easy to maintain while offering a strong, secure, and balanced grip.

This knife is not just a tool, but a tradition rooted in Japanese craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to upholding this ancient tradition. Each knife is meticulously crafted by highly skilled artisans, resulting in blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. Leveraging modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology, Shun is able to provide this level of quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks worldwide.

In summary, the Shun 5.5-inch Sora Hollow Ground Santoku knife is a versatile and high-quality addition to any kitchen. Its traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation make it a favorite among cooks for its ability to easily handle all the basic kitchen cutting tasks.
