*As each knife is hand-forged, slight variations in size and weight may occur. We appreciate your understanding. These variations do not affect the cutting performance of the knife.
This 210mm Bunka (Kiritsuke) knife combines the versatility of a Bunka with the precise, aggressive tip of a Kiritsuke design. Suitable for meat, fish, and vegetables, it offers excellent all-around performance while maintaining the sharp, refined handling characteristics that make Kiritsuke-style knives so popular among enthusiasts and professionals alike.
The blade is forged from Aogami #2 steel, a premium high-carbon steel renowned for its exceptional edge retention, hardness, and sharpening performance. Its razor-sharp edge glides effortlessly through ingredients, helping preserve texture and appearance by minimizing damage to food fibers. Whether preparing vegetables, slicing fish, or portioning meat, it delivers clean and precise cuts every time.
The distinctive Kiritsuke-style tip excels at detailed work such as trimming, scoring, and decorative cuts. Meanwhile, the 210mm blade length provides ample cutting stroke for larger vegetables, fish fillets, and cuts of meat, making it a highly capable knife for a wide variety of kitchen tasks.
The handle is crafted from chestnut wood, valued for its light weight, comfortable grip, and natural feel in hand. With use, the wood develops a richer character and patina, adding to the knife's unique appeal over time.
Combining exceptional cutting performance with an elegant profile, this is a knife designed to elevate both the experience and enjoyment of cooking.
