Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Sora Master Utility Knife is an essential addition to your cooking knife collection

Review: First off… - 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.
Review: Be careful with this one! It’s razor sharp! - 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!

## 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.
