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 - VG XEOS
Made from Takefu's new XEOS stainless steel, which, is said to be "A new steel grade that heralds the dawn of a new stage in cutlery, developed to combine corrosion resistance and hardness" closer approximating the benefits of a high grade carbon steel.
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!
