Blade Shape - Bunka
A knife which sits somewhere between the Santoku and Gyuto in size, the Bunka is a great all round kitchen knife and would be an excellent alternative to either.
A great choice for all manner of food prep jobs, from dicing meat to slicing veg and everything in between. The Bunka is particularly distinctive because of its pointed, kiritsuke tip, which not only looks great but is super practical for finer jobs, like slicing garlic.
Steel Type - SPG2 Stainless
Super high grade stainless knife steel with high toughness, high hardness and high corosion resistence, making for a knife which can be expected to hold it's edge well, have a good resistance to damage and be resistant to patina from contact with acids in food.
Care information
A knife like this performs so well becuse it's to thin, but that does mean it's more susceptible to damage, so with this in mind no twisting or riving the knife if it gets stuck in food, no cutting toward bone or cutting frozen food and absolutley no dishwashers!
HADO
HADO are a company we've been trying to forge a relationship with for years, but with knives as in-demand as theirs it's not been easy!
Only producing knives since 2019 HADO are a very much a new kid on the block, which we take to be a good thing. In a business so steeped in tradition it takes fresh eyes to try something different and break away from the pack.
Based in Sakai, one of Japans knife making centres HADO produce knives of exceptional quality.
