Shun Sora 8″ Chef’s Knife

An all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The eight-inch length is perfect for preparing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other foods. This particular chef’s knife design is more Japanese in style, meaning it has less curve than a traditional western style chef’s knife. This means more of your blade comes into contact with the board resulting in more food cut per slice. The gentle roll off the tip means the Sora 8″ chef’s knife needs to be lifted off the board less which results in more efficiency. Comfortable and natural to wield.
