Shun Cutlery Sora Hollow Ground Santoku Knife 7, Asian-Inspired All-Purpose Chef Knife

The Shun Cutlery 7-inch Sora Hollow Ground Santoku Knife is a popular Asian-inspired cooking knife that is perfect for adding to your collection. Shorter than a standard chef's knife, this professional kitchen knife is light, agile, and easy to maneuver, with just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts. The hollow-ground indentations on the side of the blade create small air pockets, reducing friction and making it easier to glide through each cut. This versatile knife can handle all the basic kitchen cutting tasks with ease.

The San Mai construction of the blade utilizes VG10 steel for a corrosion-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree cutting edge, supported by 420J stainless steel on the upper part of the blade. The traditional, full-tang handle is made of a textured PP/TPE polymer blend, providing an easy-to-maintain, contemporary look, as well as a strong, secure, and balanced grip.

In Japan, the blade is more than just a tool – it's a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans, using modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology, to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty.
