Shun Sora 9″ Bread Knife

The Shun Sora 9-inch Bread Knife is an indispensable kitchen tool. The wide, “low frequency” serrations of this bread knife’s blade are razor-sharp and easily slice through any loaf of bread or pastry – whether tender and delicate or crunchy and crusty – with only a gentle back and forth sawing cut. The sharp serrations keep the bread from being crushed or torn as it’s sliced.

Honoring the traditional, high-end Japanese knife-making technique of san mai, the Shun Sora Bread Knife features a VG10 “super steel” razor-sharp 16-degree double-bevel edge blade clad with a single layer of stainless steel on each side. The Sora’s VG10 san mai and stainless blade are laser cut and fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, permanently braze welded to provide performance and beauty. The blade is finished with bead blasting to highlight the san mai edge and echo the line of the braze welding.

Each Shun Sora knife handle is made of textured TPE polymer to provide excellent grip and balance without sacrificing ease of maintenance. The stainless steel Shun logo on the handle further enhances the balance of this beautiful knife.
