Shun Cutlery Sora Master Utility, 6.5 inch VG10 Stainless Steel, Handcrafted in Japan

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.

Very sharp, wifey is happy!

nothing bad to be said about shun except I returned product as it looked used

Funny story…first, this is not my first Shun knife, it’s merely my most recent purchase. Well, this Knife does not disappoint. This knife also sent me to the ER for stitches, bc it inadvertently slipped out of one hand and into the other (literally) while Washing it. Didn’t feel a thing until I was at the ER. Anyhow, this knife goes through anything. Fantastic purchase - just be careful when handling and definitely keep it away from small children!

Great utility knife, well balanced with a slightly thicker blade than other Shun cooking knives. Sharp and holds edge quite well.
