Customize your Sora collection with our 3-Piece Build-a-Block set. Start with the must-have Sora Chef's Knife and the Shun Sora Combination Honing Steel needed for maintaining your edge. The additional slots are perfect for large and medium-sized knives, which you can add whenever it's convenient for you. The slimline bamboo block is durable and bamboo is a renewable resource. You'll also appreciate its easy-care performance. Since bamboo absorbs very little moisture, it doesn't shrink or swell like other hardwoods, making it ideal for kitchen accessories.The Shun Sora 3-Piece Build-a-Block Set is part of 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 PP/TPE polymer blend handle material provides a contemporary look, secure grip and balance, and is easy to maintain.
