The Shun Sora Master Utility Knife is an incredibly versatile tool that combines the agility of a utility knife with the functionality of a chef's knife. With a slightly longer and wider blade, it allows for a variety of food preparation tasks while maintaining the ease of use typical of compact knives. The extra width at the heel and a gently curved belly enable effortless rocking motions for mincing herbs and spices. The downturned tip, reminiscent of a kiritsuke, adds to its durability. Whether you’re slicing, dicing, shredding, or portioning, this beautifully crafted kitchen knife handles it all. Shun Sora delivers exceptional Japanese craftsmanship at a great value.
