Shun Sora 9" Bread Knife

A refined approach to bread slicing, adding to your kitchen cutlery collection with thoughtful design. Unlike traditional bread knives with standard teeth, the Shun Sora 9" Bread Knife features innovative "low-frequency" serrations that effortlessly glide through bread without ripping or tearing. This unique design ensures a smooth cutting experience, whether you're slicing tender or crusty breads.

Crafted as part of the Sora line, this knife exemplifies exceptional quality at an accessible price point, making it a practical choice for both amateur and professional chefs alike. The blade is constructed using Shun's proprietary Composite Blade Technology, featuring a VG10 san mai cutting core clad with Japanese 420J stainless steel. This combination not only provides superior cutting performance but also enhances stain resistance for long-lasting durability.

The 9-inch blade of the Shun Sora Bread Knife is hand-sharpened to a precise 16° single-bevel edge, ensuring optimal sharpness and cutting efficiency. Its traditional Japanese handle design, crafted from an easy-care textured PP/TPE blend, offers a comfortable and secure grip during use. Handcrafted in Japan with meticulous attention to detail, this bread knife is a testament to Shun's commitment to quality and innovation in kitchen cutlery.
