By far my husband's FAVORITE knife. He even made a speech to the family so that everyone knew to NOT put it in the dishwasher.

These knives are the best. We aren't pro chefs, but these are perfect for chopping and cutting up just about anything!

There’s not one thing that isn’t quality on this knife. It is extremely sharp, food doesn’t stick to the blade and I like the balance. No sense in getting something half as good if you’re going to use it all the time ( and I do).

I finally have really nice knife in my kitchen, it is a perfect size, very very sharp (I just cut myself just be careful) and also light. I absolutely love it.

I am really liking the Shun Sora knives. This is my 4th and I am actually surprised at how solid the blade is. I have the 8" Chef's and it's blade is solid but I also have the paring and 6" utility and the blades on those feel very delicate: they aren't though but the feel like it. I was expecting this one to feel delicate but it was a very nice surprise that it feels very sturdy. As with all the others the edge is RAZOR sharp!!! I just don't think there is a better deal at this price point. I am sure there are higher quality knives out there but you will pay a lot more for them.
