Shun Sora 5.5" Serrated Utility Knife

The Shun Sora 5.5" Serrated Utility Knife embodies versatility in the kitchen with its unique design and functionality. Positioned between a chef's knife and a paring knife in size, its narrower and straighter blade, coupled with a serrated edge, makes it ideal for slicing foods with tough skins and soft interiors, such as avocados and tomatoes. It excels in tasks like slicing sausages with tough casings and cutting hard cheeses, offering precision and ease in various culinary applications. Shun's Sora line delivers handcrafted Japanese quality at an accessible price point, making professional-grade performance accessible to all.

This knife is engineered for medium-sized kitchen tasks, from tomato slicing to small bread cutting, offering versatility for everyday cooking needs. Featuring Shun's proprietary Composite Blade Technology, it combines high-performance VG10 steel on the cutting edge with highly corrosion-resistant Japanese 420J stainless steel on the blade upper, ensuring durability and longevity. The San mai edge construction safeguards and reinforces the VG10 cutting core, boasting a razor-sharp, single-bevel 16° edge for effortless cutting.

Designed with a traditional handle in a textured PP/TPE polymer blend, the knife offers a contemporary aesthetic, secure grip, and balanced handling. The blade tang extends seamlessly into the embossed Sora handle medallion, enhancing strength and balance during use. Handcrafted in Japan with meticulous attention to detail, this knife exemplifies the artistry and precision synonymous with Japanese craftsmanship, making it a reliable companion for any culinary task.
