Shun Sora 5.5" Hollow Ground Santoku

This Asian-inspired knife is a favorite with many. A knife of many talents, it handles all the basic cutting tasks quickly and easily. With its shorter 5.5-inch blade, this santoku is exceptionally light and maneuverable. This size is perfect for any medium-sized kitchen task, from slicing carrots and shallots to mincing herbs to cutting chocolate. Hollow-ground indentations on the blade help food release from the blade more easily. If you prefer a smaller, lighter kitchen knife, this one is for you.
