Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Sora Ultimate Utility Knife is an essential addition to your cooking knife collection.
I'm a huge shun fan and saw this knife at my local William Sonoma. Way fair had it for a better price, and their shipping was super quick. However, even though the knife is very nice, I find myself reaching for my chefs knife or standard utility knife instead, the shape does not lend itself to the type of knife work I normally do. Still, it is a shun.. Bob. Martinez, GA. Sun Jun 08 2014
