The sleekness of a Shun with the utility purposes of a paring knife. I loved this design because it is light and easy to handle. The plastic handle and price range is the reason for my purchase. A solid knife with the ability to stay sharp and well kept but able to take the beating out everyday paring knives do. Review: Light, Comfortable, Holds An Edge... Perfect! - This is my second Shun Sora knife, also I got one last Christmas. I have made most of my family food at home for 40+ years, so I know what a difference a good, sharp knife brings to the chopping table (pun included). I had a decent brand of German stainless steel (X50CrMoV15) knifes, but I was constantly sharpening them and yes, I do sharpen with a high-quality whetstone. I was concerned about the handles at first, so it appeared to feel a little on the less expensive side and the next level of Shun was more than I wanted to pay, but this synthetic handle is more antimicrobial, so it’s better for sanitary care. If you use a hand sharpener it might scratch the sides of your blade. I keep mine on a magnetic strip in my kitchen that caused a few scratches, but I was able to buff them out. These keep an edge longer the any of my other knifes. ## Features - JAPANESE PARING KNIFE: The Shun Sora 3.5-inch Paring Knife is expertly designed for peeling and coring fruits and vegetables with precision and ease, making it an indispensable tool for any cook. - TRADITIONAL MEETS CONTEMPORARY: The Sora Series combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with patented Composite Blade technology to create knives with contemporary style, precise performance and incredible value. - PRECISE SHARPNESS: San Mai edge construction features VG10 steel supported by a 420J stainless steel blade upper for razor-sharp precision with a 16-degree edge. - BALANCED COMFORT: The full-tang and textured PP/TPE polymer blend handle offers a contemporary look and secure grip, providing optimal control for both left and right-handed users. - JAPANESE CRAFTSMANSHIP: Each Shun knife is meticulously handcrafted in Japan, reflecting a legacy of traditional knife-making expertise and a dedication to superior craftsmanship.

Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience. **Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?** A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients. **Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?** A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition. **Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?** A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home. **Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?** A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Buy *by J***T on October 18, 2016* This knife was everything I wanted it to be!
