This small Bunka knife with Tsuchime hammer marks was handcrafted at here in Brisbane by our in house knife master, Masaaki Saito.
Bunka knives are traditional and Japan’s very first all- rounder knives made by hybridising Nakiri and western style chef knife when western food culture was introduced.
Bunka has a wide face of blade like Nakiri which is handy when slicing, dicing and the acute angled tip works well for fiddly tasks.
The knife steel Nitro-V is known for their fine structure and has an excellent wear resistance with a balanced hardness of HRC 60 so the edge stays sharp but not getting brittle from the material being too hard.
This knife has a thin blade profile ( 1.8mm at spine ) so it cuts really smoothly and has a very light weight.
The smooth, beautifully polished semi octagonal handle is made of Teak from Northern Rivers NSW capped with a Maple ferrule and fits comfortably whether you are right hander or lefty.
Order this Bunka knife today and feel the sharpness beyond expectations.
