Shun Sora 7" Hollow Ground Santoku

The Shun Sora Hollow-Ground Santoku is a versatile, Asian-inspired knife that excels in all basic kitchen cutting tasks, making it a favorite for home cooks and professionals alike. Slightly shorter than a chef’s knife, this 7-inch santoku is light, agile, and easy to maneuver, with a subtle belly curve that supports rocking cuts for added versatility. Perfect for chopping, slicing, and dicing, its hollow-ground indentations create air pockets that reduce friction, allowing the blade to glide effortlessly through food without sticking, ideal for everything from vegetables to meats.

Handcrafted in Japan, the santoku features Shun’s proprietary Composite Blade Technology, combining a VG10 san mai cutting core for superior sharpness with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper for durability. Laser-cut and braze-welded, the blade sections form a striking wavy pattern inspired by traditional Japanese sword hamon lines, enhancing both aesthetics and stain resistance. The hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel edge ensures precision, while the textured PP/TPE polymer handle, designed in a traditional Japanese style, offers a secure, balanced grip and easy maintenance, blending modern materials with classic design.

Hand washing is recommended to preserve its edge. Part of the Shun Sora line, this santoku delivers premium quality at an accessible price.
