KSVBS0600: Shun VBS0600 Sora 6 Piece Block Set

Shun Cutlery

Shun knives have impressed chefs around the world for their first rate construction and attention to every detail. The quality is really superb and the designs are great. The prices have been fair, but not low. The SORA line gives everyone a chance to experience the great Shun knives because they combine the great quality of the steel with a more economical handle technology. So, enter the exciting Shun Sora line that provides exceptional handcrafted Shun quality at an amazing price. Sora uses Shun's proprietary Composite Blade technology to bring together a VG10 san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. This technology puts high-performance material exactly where it's needed—on the edge. The two blade sections are laser cut, then fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Braze welding permanently joins them. The attractive wavy pattern at the joint is based on traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. While Sora's blade shapes and handle design are traditional Japanese, the textured TPE polymer handle material provides a contemporary look, secure grip and balance, and is easy to maintain.

The Shun Sora 6-Piece Block Set gives you all the must-have pieces of kitchen cutlery and tools in one beautiful block. In addition to key pieces like the Shun Sora Paring, Utility, and Chef's Knives, the set also includes the handy Herb Shears and Honing Steel. The shears are perfect for snipping herbs, of course, but you'll be amazed at how often they come in handy for other things, too. This essential set comes in its own block with extra open slots so you can continue to expand your Shun Sora collection.

Shun Composite Blade Technology

Shun's proprietary Composite Blade Technology enables them to provide exceptional handcrafted quality at an amazing price. It joins two quality steels in one blade and enables us to put high-performance steel exactly where it's needed most—on the cutting edge of the knife.

Here's how Shun's patented Composite Blade Technology works:

Shun laser cuts complex interlocking blade components from two different types of steel—like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Then they permanently join them into a single blade through a metallurgical process known as brazing. Brazing uses a third metal, a braze alloy, to join the two parts being brazed together; in this case, the two interlocking pieces of the knife blade.

You can see the brazed joint in a Shun Composite Blade as a thin copper-colored line between the two blade steels. A brazed joint is as strong or stronger than the metals being joined. It also adds an attractive decorative touch. With Shun's Composite Blade technology, you can get all the cutting advantages of ultra-premium steel without having to pay an ultra-premium price. Composite Blade Technology enables us to bring you Shun quality at a value price.

You will find this amazing technology in the Shun Sora line. VG10 san mai comprises the lower part of the blade, that is, the cutting edge. The upper part, above the braze line, is highly stain resistant 420J Japanese stainless steel. When the two sections are joined, they bring you the best of both worlds and create a durable blade that puts the performance of VG10 exactly where it's needed. Composite Blade Technology also offers another advantage—eye-catching style that is simply unavailable from anyone but Shun.
