This limited edition Bunka from Kikuichi showcases a stunning 17-layer Damascus pattern around a durable 440C steel core. The Nashiji, or “pear skin” finish, allows the blade to glide smoothly through ingredients, while the oak Yakisugi (burned) handle provides a secure, comfortable grip. The Bunka, similar to the versatile Santoku, is a powerhouse in the kitchen, adept at delicate fish slicing, hearty vegetable prep, and precise meat carving. Known for its exceptional performance, the Bunka is a go-to choice for chefs, whether seasoned or just starting out. Designed to be your reliable “daily driver,” this knife brings craftsmanship and versatility to your kitchen, elevating every culinary task.
