Shun Sora Composite Blade 6in Utility Fixed Knife-Black PP/TPE Handle SVB0701

The Shun Sora 6-inch Composite Blade Utility Knife is a versatile kitchen tool designed for cooks who demand precision, performance, and ease of use. Positioned between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, its narrow, straight blade makes it ideal for tasks that require more control and accuracy. Whether you’re trimming green beans, slicing small fruits, or preparing sandwich ingredients like tomatoes, meats, and cheeses, this knife delivers consistent, clean cuts with every use. Its size and shape allow it to handle almost any small to medium kitchen task efficiently, making it one of the three must-have knives for any well-equipped kitchen.

The blade itself is a marvel of Shun’s proprietary Composite Blade Technology. At its heart, a high-performance VG10 steel cutting core provides exceptional edge retention and sharpness, while the surrounding 420J stainless steel cladding enhances corrosion resistance and durability. The san mai edge construction supports the VG10 core while allowing it to maintain a razor-sharp 16-degree edge on each side, ensuring effortless slicing and precision cutting. With three layers of steel forming the blade, you get both strength and flexibility where you need it most, giving the knife a reliable performance edge in daily kitchen tasks.

Comfort, balance, and control are equally prioritized with the knife’s textured PP/TPE handle, designed to feel secure and natural in hand. The traditional shape offers excellent ergonomics, while the polymer blend ensures easy maintenance and long-lasting durability. The full tang extends all the way to the embossed handle medallion, providing additional strength and balance for confident handling. Lightweight yet robust at just 2.5 ounces, the knife feels effortless during prep work and won’t tire your hand even after extended use.

Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Sora Utility Knife combines centuries of cutlery tradition with modern engineering to produce a blade that excels in performance and reliability. Its sleek black handle and polished, layered blade give it a contemporary yet professional aesthetic, making it as visually striking as it is functional. Every aspect, from the edge to the handle, has been thoughtfully designed to ensure this knife becomes a trusted companion in your kitchen for years to come. Slice, dice, and prep with precision using the Shun Sora 6-inch utility knife—available at SMKW!
