Specifications
The Nakagawa Aogami #1 Damascus Bunka 180mm is a handcrafted Japanese knife by Satoshi Nakagawa, expertly sharpened by Morihiro Hamono in Sakai, Japan. Featuring a damascus finish and an Aogami #1 core steel with iron cladding, this knife allows the entire blade to develop a patina over time—a desirable characteristic for those who appreciate the unique aesthetic of carbon steel knives.
The Bunka excels in various kitchen tasks, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer shorter knives for quick prep work or who have limited kitchen space.
Note: The blade is not etched, even if it may appear so in some images.
