Nice entry point into the Shun knife line. It has a 10 yr warranty, and I believe Shun still offers free sharpening (postage paid) on all of their knives, as well.
Hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade; stain resistant; 60-61 Rockwell Hardness
- Constructed of VG10 super steel clad with one layer of stainless steel on each side creating a san mai edge
- Two blade sections are laser cut and fit together like a puzzle, braze welding permanently joins them
- Wavy pattern at the joint is based on traditional Japanese sword hamon lines
- Traditional Japanese handle design with a textured PP/TPE blend; stainless steel debossed logo
- Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan with a 10-year warranty
Description
The Shun Sora Chef's Knife is an all-purpose knife used for a wide variety of cutting tasks including slicing, dicing, and chopping fruits, vegetables, and more. With its curved belly, this Chef's knife can also be gently rocked through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Sora uses Shun's proprietary composite blade technology bringing together a VG10 san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel blade. The two blade sections are laser cut and fit together like pieces of a puzzle, and the braze welding permanently joins them together. The wavy pattern at the joint is based on traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. The textured PP/TPE polymer blend handle material provides a contemporary look, secure grip, while easy to maintain. The debossed stainless steel logo enhances and balances the handle. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, 10-year warranty.

I really enjoy my Shun knives, but this one just looks like a different breed.
Then you should know that this is their entry level, cheaper knife set.
Yes, for a different sized knife, but that deal disappeared quick

It is their entry level knife, lowest price class. Note I believe the blade is same quality as their "Classic" series. I have classic, my parents have the Sora. Both cut great and look great.
Note: I'm left handed and in that case, the Sora actually feels better in the hand. Other series such as the Classic include a slight bulge for ergonomics which are meant for right handed users.

Plus postage to get the knife there.
So "free sharpening" costs about $22+
But yes. Those are entry level. I don't recommend
