http://geni.us/B6OaYCg – Shun Sora 8 inch Chef's Knife. http://geni.us/wRxKJ – Shun Classic 8 inch Chef's Knife. The Shun Sora is their answer to the "budget-friendly" lines of other brands. However, it is "just a bit better." It uses high-end, wrapped steel. It has, for all intents and purposes, a "full tang." It comes with free lifetime sharpening. The Shun Classic is Shun’s standard knife line. It has the best performance they offer without all the extra frills of their higher end lines. It features a true full tang, 34-layer Damascus-clad blade, and black pakkawood handle. Like all Shun knives, it also comes with free lifetime sharpening. In this video, I compare the Shun Sora 8 inch Chef's Knife to the Shun Classic 8 inch Chef's Knife and give my opinions.
