Shun Sora 8" Chef Knife

This is the place to start your Shun Sora collection. In Japan, the Sora Chefs Knife would be called a gyuto. Its used for all the same purposes as a chefs knife all-around food preparation. But it has slightly less curve than a Western chefs knife, which means it contacts the cutting board along more of its length, so more food is cut per slice.
