Wusthof Classic vs Shun Sora — 8 Inch Chef's Knife.

The Wusthof Classic is Wusthof’s standard, high-end knife line… and it truly is a classic! It is a forged knife made of their proprietary 58 hardness steel and is sharpened to a razor-like 14.5 degree angle (sharper than many Japanese knives!). With a full bolster, full tang, and traditional European handle, this line is great if you want an extremely sharp blade that handles like a German knife.

The Shun Sora is Shun's answer to the "budget-friendly" lines of other brands. However, it is "just a bit better." It uses high-end VG10 for the cutting core and is wrapped on either side with a layer of stainless steel for protection. It also has, for all intents and purposes, a "full tang” and comes with free lifetime sharpening.

In this video, compare and contrast the Wusthof Classic Chef's Knife to the Shun Sora Chef's Knife and give my thoughts.

Great, just wanted to point out that the Shun has a 10 year limited warranty (you do mention that in another video, but may have just slipped) no matter though. Love the reviews!
