Kanjo HAP40 Bunka 180mm
$181.00 USD
Unit price / perShare
Blade Type
The Bunka knife, a versatile and traditional Japanese kitchen tool, features a distinctive, angular tip and a wide blade. It's designed for precision tasks like slicing, dicing, and chopping. Ideal for handling vegetables, meat, and fish, the Bunka is a multifunctional knife celebrated for its utility and unique aesthetic.
Steel Type
HAP40 is an extremely hard (often HRC65) powder semi-stainless steel by Hitachi Metals in Japan. It holds an edge for an extremely long time and will develop a patina with use. It has enough chromium content to ward off rust spots if left wet for short periods, but best to be kept dry after use. It can be tricky to sharpen without a coarse stone of around 500 grit to get the burr moving.
Recommended Maintenance
Store it in a dry environment using magnetic strips, knife rolls, or sayas. Avoid hitting hard or frozen objects and twisting the blade while cutting. These knives are not dishwasher safe. Clean with hot water and a soft cloth, and dry immediately after use to prevent rust spots on the high carbon steel. For more information please read the blog below.

Knife Care
This knife is made with a stainless steel and is easy going and low on maintenance. It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.
Really satisfied with the knifes and they looked amazing
I feel so bad that I couldn’t get one for myself n they have run out of stock😕
I gifted both the knifes to two amazing people who has taught me soo much about how to work efficiently within a commercial kitchen. I will hopefully buy one again, once they stock up these knifes.
Great value knife. To my knowledge chefs edge aren't getting more of these so I would recommend grabbing one before they are gone.
This knife came sharp and ready to slice. I always hone a few strokes on a ceramic first, but this went through dinner prep with ease and smooth joy. Very happy with it.
Outstanding for this price, i use this knife daily and nothing can stop it .
