Satoshi Nakagawa forged this bunka knife for the Hatsukokoro brand. Made with a core steel of aogami#1, this high-carbon steel is renowned for its exceptional edge retention and stability. The handle is an octagonal ebony design, accented with a blonde horn ferrule and a silver spacer. Sharpened by the reputable Morihiro Hamono, this knife promises outstanding cutting performance. As a multipurpose knife, the bunka is adept at slicing, dicing, and chopping various ingredients, making it a practical choice for both professional chefs and discerning home cooks who prefer a shorter blade.
