  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Product Description

The Shun Sora 8-inch Chef’s Knife is a specialized kitchen tool designed to handle a wide range of tasks and is ideal for preparing fruits, vegetables, meat and more. This gyuto-style Japanese kitchen knife is slightly less curved than a western chef’s knife with a gentle roll off the tip, cutting more food with less lifting of the blade. 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 Chef’s Knife is an essential addition to your cooking knife collection.
