Shun Cutlery Sora Bread Knife 9”, Long Serrations Glide Through Bread, San Mai Construction, Authentic, Handcrafted, Japanese Serrated Kitchen Knife

Create the perfect slices of bread with the Shun 9-inch Sora Bread Knife. Unlike other kitchen knives, the serrations on this bread knife are not jagged teeth that chew through bread. They’re long, razor-sharp serrations that glide through tender and crusty breads alike with no ripping, squashing or tearing. They’re also designed to lean forward on the front of the blade and backward on the back of the blade to offer equal cutting power on forward and backward strokes. The San Mai construction uses VG10 steel for a corrosion-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree cutting edge supported by 420J stainless steel on the blade upper. The traditional, full-tang handle is made of a textured PP/TPE polymer blend to provide an easy-to-maintain, contemporary look and offer a strong, secure, balanced grip. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it’s a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.
