Sora, in Japanese, means "sky". Let your imagination Review: chef knife - goodo Review: Best knives in this price range - I absolutely love these knives. The profile of the blade is great and they are really sharp right out of the box. I purchased the Santoku, 8" chef, 6" Chef, Utility, Ultimate Utility, bread knife, and pairing knife. Not only are they a great looking set of knives to display in your kitchen, but they truly do take your cooking to another level. Some people complain that the polymer handle feels cheep, but these knives are perfectly priced for what they are. The polymer grip is comfortable and its profiled it such a way that it looks great. These knives truly show the mastery knife making at work at Sora. I also have a some Wusthoff Classics, Messermeister Elites, and a set of the Calphalon Katana. The Classics and Elites I love. The Katanas not so much. These Soras are the best knives in this price range and I love them. My favorite out of all of them has to be the 7" Santoku, but all of the others are great to. Some people say they got rust spots on these knives. Well more expensive knives have a good side and a bad side. They are great because you get better blade profiles, with a blade that holds an edge a lot longer and is much easier to sharpen, but the down side is they are prone to rust. You shouldn't just leave these knives laying in a wet sink for days like you can do with cheaper knives. You should do that with any higher end knife because they will all get rust spots. Also I can not stress this enough. Do not put these knives in the dishwasher. When you finish using them. Hand wash them in soap and water. Hand dry them really good and put them back on your knife rack. Also make sure you knife isn't wet from placing wet knives on it. Putting your good knives on a wet knife rack is a good way to get rust spots. These really are great knives that are very easy to take care of with a little respect and a few steps, and these are possibly the best knives in the price range. These or the Messermeister Elites. Though the elites are a little more expensive than these. You will not regret buying these Soras'. Also if you purchase these. Get yourself a nice knife rack to display them. The beautifully crafted knives look way to go to be thrown in a knife block or drawer. ## Features - ALL PURPOSE CUTTING: A go-to blade, our knife chops anything from meats to veggies. - VG10 SAN MAI EDGE: 2 single layers of stainless steel provide a precision edge and stain resistant surface. - JAPANESE INSPIRED HANDLE: The textured handle provides balance, a secure grip, and is easy to maintain. - RAZOR-SHARP: Our quality knife slices through ingredients cleanly without tearing. - 8 INCH BLADE: The blade stays visible all the way through so you can slice food cleanly the first time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BQ83BCE | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Length | 8 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Shun | | Colour | Black / Stainless Steel | | Construction Type | Forged | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,299 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | stainless steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00087171042992 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Weight | 0.41 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Kershaw | | Manufacturer Part Number | VB0706 | | Model number | VB0706 | | UPC | 087171042992 | ## Product Details - **Blade Colour:** Silver - **Blade Length:** 8 Inches - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Shun - **Colour:** Black / Stainless Steel - **Construction Type:** Forged - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Is Dishwasher Safe:** No - **Item Weight:** 0.41 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Kershaw ## Images ![VB0706 Sora Chef's Knife, 8-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wXN69uPRL.jpg) ![VB0706 Sora Chef's Knife, 8-Inch - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UEEfbC8GL.jpg) ![VB0706 Sora Chef's Knife, 8-Inch - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91H4ByFFGzL.jpg) ![VB0706 Sora Chef's Knife, 8-Inch - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71R9JCSydHL.jpg) ![VB0706 Sora Chef's Knife, 8-Inch - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91flOpEgcvL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ chef knife *by S***E on 28 March 2025* goodo ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best knives in this price range *by E***S on 21 September 2015* I absolutely love these knives.
