Shun Knives Sora 9in Bread Knife SVB0705

The Shun Cutlery Sora 9" Bread Knife is a high-performance slicing tool, expertly crafted in Japan to deliver precision, durability, and style. Designed to handle everything from crusty artisan loaves to soft sandwich bread, this knife glides through without crushing or tearing, thanks to its low-frequency serrations that ensure a smooth cut on both push and pull strokes.

At the heart of the Sora Bread Knife is Shun’s exclusive Composite Blade Technology, which merges a VG10 "super steel" cutting core with a 420J stainless steel upper. The VG10 core provides outstanding edge retention and cutting power, while the upper layer adds corrosion resistance, ensuring lasting performance in demanding kitchen environments. This innovative construction forms a 3-layer san mai blade that is hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree single-bevel edge, allowing for ultra-sharp, clean cuts every time.

The 9-inch blade is engineered for balance and control, while the full tang extends through the handle to offer added strength and stability. The knife’s total length of 14.25 inches and lightweight 4.4-ounce build make it easy to maneuver during prolonged use. Whether you're slicing bread, tomatoes, or cooked meats, the Sora Bread Knife delivers consistent, reliable results.

Shun’s attention to detail extends to the handle, which is made from a durable, textured PP/TPE polymer blend. It offers a secure, comfortable grip that's easy to maintain and resistant to wear. The handle’s design complements the traditional blade shape, merging classic Japanese craftsmanship with modern functionality. The balance between form and function is a hallmark of the Sora Series, which offers exceptional performance at an accessible value.

Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan—a region celebrated for centuries of expert blade-making—the Shun Sora 9" Bread Knife stands as a testament to fine craftsmanship and cutting innovation. It's the ideal choice for home cooks and culinary professionals who demand quality and precision in every slice.
