Description: Like the santoku, the bunka is a small but versatile profile, perfect for blasting through prep of any quantity. Mince, dice, chop -- this knife does it all. The compact design keeps the knife an easily controllable size as well as taking up less cutting board space for space-restricted circumstances. This knife is a perfect addition to your knife roll whether you're a professional chef or home cook.
This custom bunka was made by Seattle knifemaker Larson Made (Noah Larson).
The blade is flat ground by hand from AEB-L stainless steel. AEB-L is ultra high performance -- combining the convenience of stainless steel with the ability to take an acute edge and hold it (a characteristic usually only found in carbon steels). AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness, and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L, you'll immediately understand why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts, knifemakers, and professional chefs. The resulting blade has an extremely keen, long-lasting edge. The blade is beautifully thin for effortless slicing. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort.
The Japanese-inspired octagonal handle offers a comfortable, ambidextrous grip. The handle is zebrawood. The wood selected is a pleasant light tone with darker figure moving throughout the wood. The front of the handle is sealed with a brass spacer. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher. This knife is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen!
