Shun Sora Bread Knife

Standard bread knives often have deep, aggressive teeth that can tear delicate crusts. The low-frequency serrations on the Shun Sora are designed to glide through crusty loaves with less resistance, allowing for cleaner slices without crushing the soft interior.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high-heat environment and harsh detergents can damage the blade's edge and the polymer handle, so we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

This technology combines a high-performance VG10 steel core for superior sharpness and edge retention with a durable 420J stainless steel upper. This pairing provides the professional-grade cutting performance of a premium steel while maintaining the structural integrity and flexibility needed for a 9-inch bread knife.

Yes, the handle is crafted from a lightweight PP/TPE polymer blend that is ergonomically shaped and textured for a secure, non-slip grip. Its balanced design makes it easy to maneuver regardless of hand size.

Because the Sora features a serrated edge, it is more difficult to sharpen at home than a straight-edged blade. You will rarely need to sharpen it, but when the time comes, it is best to use a specialized serrated sharpener or send it to a professional service.
