This Bunka knife is the latest creation from the Japanese Echizen blade maker Yoshimi Kato. Crafted from super blue steel, it boasts exceptional hardness and edge retention, ensuring long-lasting sharpness. The bold and avant-garde tip design simplifies and lightens the user's handling when precision cutting is required. The blade gradually tapers, featuring an extremely thin edge that showcases the superior craftsmanship of forging and grinding, providing an exceptional cutting experience. The black V-shaped hammer pattern on the blade complements its unique style.

The blade is relatively thin and not suitable for cutting frozen meat or bones. Carbon steel blades are susceptible to rust when exposed to moisture. After use, ensure prompt drying. For long-term storage, apply a specialized Japanese blade rust prevention oil, wipe dry after oiling for maintenance and shine. Due to long shipping distances, we meticulously inspect before dispatch. If you have any concerns upon receipt, please communicate with us promptly. Slight size discrepancies due to batch variations, forging, and manual measurements are considered normal.
