No kitchen is complete without a quality bread knife and after using the Shun Sora 9-in. Bread Knife, no other knife will do. With innovative, low frequency serrations, the blade smoothly and gently glides through the sturdiest crusts and gently cuts the delicate interior of bread loaves for perfect slices every time. While other knives have jagged, teeth-like, serrated edges, Shun Sora Bread Knife’s wider and slightly wavy serrations for smoother, easier cutting. The single-bevel blade is hand-sharpened at a 16-degree angle for a wicked-sharp edge that lasts a long time. The blade uses Shun’s proprietary Composite Blade technology to combine a VG10 san mai cutting core with a Japanese 420J blade upper. The steel is laser cut and braze welded together in an interlocking pattern resembling the hamon lines of traditional Japanese swords. The handle is made of a textured PP/TPE polymer blend, making it comfortable to hold, easy to control and maintenance-free.
