Zan Shin Sora Santoku Knife 16.5cm

Information

Introducing our lightweight and thin blade designed to effortlessly glide through food ingredients, reducing friction for a seamless cutting experience.

The meticulous craftsmanship includes a large Kireha (edge line) and an intricately hammered pattern for an elegant touch. Compared to the Zan Shin Ao series, the Sora series boasts a thinner blade, enhancing sharpness while requiring gentle handling to prevent chipping. However, its notable advantage lies in easy restoration and resharpening using mid-grain whetstones.
