Shun Sora 8" Chef's Knife

This
is the place to start your Shun Sora collection. In Japan, the Sora
Chef's Knife would be called a gyuto. It's used for all the same
purposes as a chef's knife—all-around food preparation. But it has
slightly less curve than a Western chef's knife, which means it contacts
the cutting board along more of its length, so more food is cut per
slice. The Sora has a gentle roll off the tip compared to the large roll
of a Western style knife, so the Sora needs to be lifted less, making
cutting more efficient. What's more, with Sora, you get handcrafted
Japanese quality at an amazing price.
