An In Depth Look

Blade Type
Blade Type

The Bunka is your small/medium sized prep solution. If you prefer a slightly shorter blade length but still need to prep veggies and smaller cuts of meat, this is your stop. The angled "K-Tip" allows for finer tip work and can be used to sweep ingredients across the board so you don't dull your edge.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information
