Sakai Takayuki Kurokage Bunka 160mm
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

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!
