This Santoku knife from the Shun Sora collection performs the three essential cutting tasks a Santoku is named for: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The hollow-ground indentations create air pockets to push food away from the blade as you work, making this knife ideal for slicing food that tends to stick to knife blades.
The composite steel blade consists of a VG10 san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. VG10 stainless steel includes vanadium for wear resistance and cobalt for strength and hardness. The two blade sections are laser cut and welded together, with the superior VG10 steel along the cutting edge. The edge is hand-sharpened to a razor-sharp 16-degree cutting angle. The knife handle is made from a polymer blend for a contemporary look and secure grip.
The Shun Sora collection is affordable yet beautiful, combining modern design with Japanese tradition. Each knife in the Shun Sora collection boasts all of the essential features that make Shun a top choice of professional chefs.
