I absolutely love these knives. The profile of the blade is great and they are really sharp right out of the box. I purchased the Santoku, 8″ chef, 6″ Chef, Utility, Ultimate Utility, bread knife, and pairing knife. Not only are they a great looking set of knives to display in your kitchen, but they truly do take your cooking to another level. Some people complain that the polymer handle feels cheep, but these knives are perfectly priced for what they are. The polymer grip is comfortable and its profiled it such a way that it looks great. These knives truly show the mastery knife making at work at Sora. I also have a some Wusthoff Classics, Messermeister Elites, and a set of the Calphalon Katana. The Classics and Elites I love. The Katanas not so much. These Soras are the best knives in this price range and I love them. My favorite out of all of them has to be the 7″ Santoku, but all of the others are great to.
Some people say they got rust spots on these knives. Well more expensive knives have a good side and a bad side. They are great because you get better blade profiles, with a blade that holds an edge a lot longer and is much easier to sharpen, but the down side is they are prone to rust. You shouldn’t just leave these knives laying in a wet sink for days like you can do with cheaper knives. You should do that with any higher end knife because they will all get rust spots. Also I can not stress this enough. Do not put these knives in the dishwasher. When you finish using them. Hand wash them in soap and water. Hand dry them really good and put them back on your knife rack. Also make sure you knife isn’t wet from placing wet knives on it. Putting your good knives on a wet knife rack is a good way to get rust spots. These really are great knives that are very easy to take care of with a little respect and a few steps, and these are possibly the best knives in the price range. These or the Messermeister Elites. Though the elites are a little more expensive than these. You will not regret buying these Soras’. Also if you purchase these. Get yourself a nice knife rack to display them. The beautifully crafted knives look way to go to be thrown in a knife block or drawer.

Amazon’s Shun Sora knives are hands down the BEST kitchen knives you can buy on this website. Especially for the price and the name brand. They’re high quality, high carbon steel, and super versatile. They’re super sharp out of the box without a single fingerprint on the mirror polished metal. I would recommend these knives to everyone in the market who is looking for a high quality kitchen knife. True Shun quality – at an Amazon price. Unless you’re a chef/hobbyist who knows what specifically you’re looking for in terms of high end kitchen knives – you need not look further. They look, feel, and perform phenomenally. You need to hand wash these knives (yes, actually) and a whetstone to give these types of knives their proper maintenance (as required by useage) – I recommend a 1000/6000 grit whetstone to give the knife a good edge and nice light polish shine. Without proper maintenance your knife edges will rust, get beat up, and that sounds like a personal problem for you at that point. I could not be more pleased with these knives. I would definitely recommend these knives.

Tal como se describe. Auténtico de Japón, multiusos, ligero, de facil manejo y con buena retención de filo. El precio es muy bueno ya que es un producto de excelente calidad. Requiere cuidado con protector de filo, no debe ser golpeado ni usado para intentar partir hueso. Requerirá ser afilado y darle mantenimiento al filo con el uso.

Excelente. Permite conhecer e usar o ângulo correto das facas Shun ao usar a chaira. Sugiro assistir o vídeo “How to hone your Shun cutlery”, publicado pelo fabricante no YouTube, para usar perfeitamente esta chaira.

Great home-use (and entry-level professional use) knife from KAI/Shun. I use this knife way more than my Henkel or Wusthof knives. It holds a better edge, is more comfortable, and extremely versatile. I use Shun professionally and love their knives, but I needed something that would still be good at home, but that I wouldn’t cry over if my wife or in-laws messed up. This completely fits the bill. The thin blade is easy to touch up and keep sharp. Its high polish helps it resist rust (yes, even ‘stainless’ can rust under certain conditions and uses), and it has a comfortable and easy-to-grip handle.
Don’t throw this in your dishwasher, or you’ll ruin it. Also, invest (it isn’t expensive) in a decent soft-wood cutting board, and you’ll experience a much sharper knife for much longer. If you read the instructions that come with it, plastic boards will dull it very quickly, and for the love of God in heaven, don’t use a glass, corian, or other hard board with ANY knives.
