I absolutely love these knives. The profile of the blade is great and they are really sharp right out of the box. I purchased the Santoku, 8" chef, 6" Chef, Utility, Ultimate Utility, bread knife, and pairing knife. Not only are they a great looking set of knives to display in your kitchen, but they truly do take your cooking to another level. Some people complain that the polymer handle feels cheep, but these knives are perfectly priced for what they are. The polymer grip is comfortable and its profiled it such a way that it looks great. These knives truly show the mastery knife making at work at Sora. I also have a some Wusthoff Classics, Messermeister Elites, and a set of the Calphalon Katana. The Classics and Elites I love. The Katanas not so much. These Soras are the best knives in this price range and I love them. My favorite out of all of them has to be the 7" Santoku, but all of the others are great to.
Some people say they got rust spots on these knives. Well more expensive knives have a good side and a bad side. They are great because you get better blade profiles, with a blade that holds an edge a lot longer and is much easier to sharpen, but the down side is they are prone to rust. You shouldn't just leave these knives laying in a wet sink for days like you can do with cheaper knives. You should do that with any higher end knife because they will all get rust spots. Also I can not stress this enough. Do not put these knives in the dishwasher. When you finish using them. Hand wash them in soap and water. Hand dry them really good and put them back on your knife rack. Also make sure you knife isn't wet from placing wet knives on it. Putting your good knives on a wet knife rack is a good way to get rust spots. These really are great knives that are very easy to take care of with a little respect and a few steps, and these are possibly the best knives in the price range. These or the Messermeister Elites. Though the elites are a little more expensive than these. You will not regret buying these Soras'. Also if you purchase these. Get yourself a nice knife rack to display them. The beautifully crafted knives look way to go to be thrown in a knife block or drawer.

Ligero y ergonómico
Llevo ya casi un año con este cuchillo como cocinera en un restaurante y es cómodo para trabajar con el con largas jornadas, es ligero por lo que me parece perfecto par un corte limpio y fluido. Gran filo para una variedad de actividades e igual hay que mantenerlo afilandolo y dándoles los cuidados necesarios al limpiarlo.

Knife Box Covered In Grease
Size: 6"Style: UtilityPattern Name: KnifeVerified Purchase
I use a Shun 8inch chef knife. Amazing blades. I bought this 6-inch utility knife as a gift. Whoever packed this was eating KFC. Greasy finger-marks all over the box. Was also a large cut down one side of the box. Knife feels and looks amazing. If you are after a smaller knife to use in the kitchen I would highly recommend this one, just not from this seller.Conor C.Knife Box Covered In Grease
