An In Depth Look

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 Read

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Sakai Takayuki Kurokage Bunka 160mm

Sakai Takayuki Kurokage Bunka

The Bunka is a very good knife, light and easy to cutting style. First I was planning to get the Sakai Takayuki Kurokage Gyuto but is already sold out so I give Bunka a try but come out is so good I like it so much. And also the service is awesome hope the following future will get more cool stuff in the store again. Thank you

precision and ease of use

I purchased this knife as a birthday gift for my partner. Neither of us are pro chefs but do enjoy cooking our own meals at home. He was absolutely thrilled with the look and feel of the knife and even more in love with the precision and ease of use. The information provided on the knife's maker and history made this an extra special gift. Thanks Chef's edge for the speedy delivery during a difficult time, much appreciated! We'll be saving up for a few more knives to add to the collection now!
