Razor-sharp serrations make the Sora ultimate utility knife incredibly versatile for slicing thin-skinned fruits and vegetables and sandwiches without tearing or squashing the bread. Surprisingly multifunctional, the 6" Shun Sora Ultimate Utility Knife effortlessly slices delicate thin-skinned fruits and vegetables and can be used for chopping and slicing. Designed also to work as a sandwich or bread knife, the ultimate knife's gentle "low-frequency" serrations make sure breads don't tear or squash. With a wide blade and rounded tip, the utility knife is also perfect for spreading mayo, mustard and other condiments. Made by one of Japan's leading knife manufacturers, the Shun Sora ultimate knife can be used as a sandwich knife because it is a pro at slicing ingredients for sandwiches, including tomatoes, avocados, meats and cheeses. The lightweight utility knife is undoubtedly versatile every time you cook and will become a favorite in your kitchen. In Japanese, Sora means "sky" and the sky's the limit in your kitchen prep with Shun's stunning new Sora line with exceptional handcrafted quality. Sora's innovative Composite Blade Technology blends a VG10 san mai cutting edge with a mirror-polished 420J Japanese stainless-steel upper blade. The laser-cut blade sections are permanently braze welded for a design with an attractive wavy pattern at the joint resembling traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. This puts high-performance material where it's needed -- on the 16-degree, double-bevel blade edge. Shun knives designed the Ultimate Utillity Knife's wide "low-frequency" serrations to glide through any cutting task easily with equal forward and back stroke cutting power. The textured PPTPE polymer blend handle lends contemporary styling and a secure grip for balanced, agile control. Shun cutlery proudly takes its name from the Japanese culinary tradition of preparing and eating the very freshest food at the perfect shun moment, in harmony with nature's seasonal rhythms. The Shun brand, made by Kai Corporation, one of Japan's preeminent blade manufacturers, introduced its exquisitely styled and exceptionally sharp Japanese-style knives to American kitchens in 2002. Compared to European and Western knives, Shun knives have lighter, thinner blades made of harder steel and honed to superior sharpness. The ultimate utility knife reflects Shun's renowned craftsmanship and centuries-old Japanese knife making traditions.
