This Bunka knife 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 Swedish stainless steel 12C27 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 wide blade face ( 57 mm blade width at the heel ) so it cuts smooth and straight with no chance of your knuckle hitting the chopping board.
The smooth, beautifully polished semi octagonal handle is made of Mulga ( Acacia family ) / Budgeroo and fits comfortably whether you are right hand or lefty.
