Knife Type: Bunka Knife
Edge Type: Double bevel edge, suitable for both left and right-handed users Material: SRS13 (SRS-13 is a newer type of powdered stainless steel developed by Nachi-Fujikoshi. It offers good sharpness, edge retention, and rust resistance. After heat treatment, it can reach HRC 63, theoretically slightly harder than SG2/R2. However, sometimes artisans choose not to push the hardness to the limit, preserving some toughness for the edge.) Hardness: 63 HRC Blade Length: 180mm Blade Width: 51mm Thickness: 2.1mm Weight: 240g Handle: Synthetic turquoise Notes:
The blade is relatively thin and not suitable for cutting frozen meat or bones. High carbon stainless steel may still develop surface rust after prolonged exposure to moisture. It is recommended to dry it promptly after use to maintain dryness. Due to long shipping distances, we conduct thorough inspections before dispatch. If you have any concerns upon receipt, please communicate with us promptly. Slight dimensional variations are normal due to batch, forging, and manual measurement reasons.
