Shun Sora Hollow Ground 7″ Santoku Knife (VB0718)

The Shun Sora Hollow Ground 7″ Santoku Knife is used for chopping, slicing and mincing.  Sora, in Japanese, means “sky”. Let your imagination take you-the sky’s the limit with what you can do with your shun Sora knives.

Featuring our proprietary composite blade technology that brings together a VG10 cutting edge, clad with one layer of stainless steel on each side to create a san mai edge, with a mirror-polished Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. Boasting a razor-sharp 16-degree cutting angle on each side of the blade, Sora puts all the high-performance technology where it’s needed most: the cutting edge. Laser-Cut, 2-sections are fit together and braze welded to permanently join them.

Blade shapes and handles are designed for traditional Japanese knives, while the beautiful wavy pattern on each blade is reminiscent of Japanese sword hamon lines. The hollow-ground feature makes tiny air pockets which help with food release from the blade. Each handle is made with a textured TPE polymer handle that provides balance, and is easy to maintain. The texture of each handle provides a tacky surface when wet, making them superior to use around juicy fruits, vegetables and meat
