Description
The Bunka is a type of Santoku. The name ‘Santoku’ means ‘three virtues’ in Japanese, which represents the three main tasks this knife was meant to perform – slicing, dicing and chopping.
It has a more subtle curvature to the cutting edge and a shorter blade length than the Gyuto, making it ideal for everyday home use.
The Bunka has an acute angle knife tip known as ‘kiritsuke’, or K-tip. The K-tip is very handy for detailed knife tasks. However, the user will need to perform these tasks with care to prevent the point of the knife from being damaged.
The blade of this knife is hand forged by blacksmiths and the handles are made of wood. As a result, there will be minor variations in blade length, appearance of the blade finish, wood grain and colour. The product images should be treated as a close approximation of what will be received.
