Yoshikazu Tanaka forged this bunka knife with a core steel of aogami super. It has been precisely sharpened by Masaya Shimizu of Yamawaki Hamono. The blade showcases a misty mirror finish. The knife is fitted with an octagonal ebony handle, complemented by a double horn ferrule and a nickel silver spacer.
A bunka knife is a versatile Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. Similar to a gyuto, it's suitable for a variety of tasks such as slicing, dicing, and chopping. However, the shorter bunka features a flatter profile and a more pronounced tip.
