Includes: 3.5" Shun Sora Paring Knife 6" Shun Sora Utility Knife 8" Shun Sora Chef's Knife 9" Shun Shora Honing Steel Shun Sora Kitchen Shears. 11-Slot Bamboo storage Block. Description Shora means sky, and what an appropriate name for this set. Shun Cutlery has provided you with an array of knives to match your culinary ambitions and to inspire you to reach for the stars! Each blade is forged in the Samurai tradition of San Mai. The artisans incorporated a strong VG10 core with a stainless, corrosion resistant steel on the upper blade, creating a lovely wave pattern-but the process isn't just about beauty. The knives are wonderfully sharp and easy to maneuver. While Sora's blade shapes and handle designs are in the traditional Japanese style, the textured PP/TPE polymer blended handle material provides a contemporary look, secure grip and balance, and is easy to maintain.
