This small Bunka is handcrafted by our proprietor and knife master Masaaki Saito here in Brisbane.
Bunka is a Japanese multipurpose knife with acute angled tip.
The shape comes from a hybrid between western style chef knife and rectangular Nakiri which was a traditional Japanese multipurpose knife back in old days.
The blade is made of Nitro-V stainless steel with a 50/50 universal edge for both right and left hands.
This knife has a very thin blade profile perfect for delicate work and guarantees effortless cutting.
Nitro-V stainless steel is a brilliant knife steel, known for its amazing edge retention and easy maintenance.
The semi octagonal handle ( 135mm handle length ) is made of TAS Blackwood capped with Maple ferrule.
Beautifully polished natural wooden handle fits in your hand so smoothly and outshines from other mass produced knives.
This knife is one and only, handcrafted by knife master Masaaki Saito at here from blade to handle.
