## Description

The Shun Sora 6.5-inch Master Utility Knife is a specialized kitchen tool designed for effortlessly trimming vegetables and slicing meats and cheeses with precision. This cooking knife features a slightly longer, wide blade with a thick heel and curved belly. It's capable of rocking cuts to easily mince herbs and spices while retaining the versatility and agility of a smaller, compact knife. Featuring VG10 steel for a 16-degree edge supported by 420J stainless steel on the blade upper, this Japanese knife delivers exceptional sharpness. The traditional, full-tang handle is made of a textured PP/TPE polymer blend, offering excellent grip and easy maintenance. Supported by free sharpening and honing. Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Sora Master Utility Knife is an essential addition to your cooking knife collection.

Review: Not everyone is a baller like you, Lean, who can drop $250+ on a single kitchen knife. Second, this knife is well made, perfectly balanced, comfortable in hand while using, and sharp beyond expectation. Shun made this blade to be affordable. It beats the heck out of Wusthof and Henkel at the price point, and with a VG-10 edge, it will last longer. I own the Calphalon VG10 Katana series blades, and so far I personally believe these Sora’s are better because they are not as heavy and seem to be sharper after a months worth of constant wear. I bought 5, 5 Shun Sora knives on sale for the price of your 1 knife you love so much, Lean. If that isn’t amazing when discussing quality and quantity, then I guess some people are hard to please. Thank you Shun for making a fantastic and affordable blade like this one, and I hope this review helps others see beyond the words of all of the naysayer haters in the world, and Canada too.
Review: Very sharp, wifey is happy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.
