BUNKA knives have one of the few multipurpose traditional Japanese blades, and can be used as a slicer or a vegetable knife. These sword shaped knives feature a straighter and wider edge than a yanagi for vegetables, and a longer blade than an usuba for slicing fish with ease. The user need skilled with traditional Japanese knives in order to utilize this unique kiritsuke style design properly. Traditionally, these knives are used only by the chefs as a symbol of status.

DICRIPTION

Designed by Hitachi as a steel used for dies to cut and punch other steels, it has also proven itself in the Japanese cutlery world. This stainless steel that is quite durable and holds a razor edge. So far in our experience sharpening and using SLD steel, we find it sharpens similarly to carbon steel, but is a little on the tougher side.The Japanese term “Nashiji” (English: Pear skin pattern) refers to the result of a technique that appears to leave the surface finish of a blade looking unfinished and rustic.

  • HANDMADE FORGING

    Through traditional forging methods, the iron molecules are carefully refined, resulting in the creation of a "living kitchen knife" that truly comes to life.

  • DURABILITY

    The process of heating and forging each material for mold creation is repeated three or four times to rapidly form the blade and enhance its durability, preventing the carbon from being released from the steel and maintaining its original strength.

  • SHARPNESS

    The blade plays a crucial role in achieving optimal sharpness. It is meticulously polished in our own blade factory to ensure exceptional sharpness without compromise.

  • HANDLE

    Our top priority is ensuring durability, a luxurious feel, and an ergonomic design that provides a comfortable grip without causing fatigue, even during extended use.
