Shun Sora 5.5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife

Shun Sora 5.5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife is useful for ingredients with a resistant skin or crust and a softer interior. A light back-and-forth stroke lets the serrations start the cut in rolls, tomatoes and layered sandwiches without relying on heavy downward force.

At a glance

• Serrated cutting edge

  The toothed edge is designed to begin cuts in skins and crusts with a controlled sawing motion.

• 5.5-inch blade

  This 5.5-inch format helps define the working reach. Match it to your usual ingredients and leave room for the cutting stroke.

• Composite blade

  Sora joins a VG10 cutting section to a stainless upper blade, placing the cutting steel along the working edge.

• Textured handle

  The molded handle has a textured surface and a straightforward profile for everyday food preparation.

Find your fit

Choose a serrated utility knife for smaller crusty or layered foods. A longer bread knife remains useful when the loaf is too wide for this blade to clear comfortably. Read our serrated knife guide for practical comparisons.

Care and storage

Wash by hand with mild detergent, then towel-dry the blade and handle before putting the knife away. Keep the edge protected in a suitable block, tray or guard. Have serrations maintained with a method suited to their shape. See our knife-care guide for a practical routine.
