Product Description

The bunka-bocho is a general purpose chef's knife for vegetables, meat and fish. Closer in spirit to a western kitchen knife than some more traditional Japanese knife styles, with the added benefit of traditional Japanese sharpness.

HAP40 high speed steel offers great sharpness and edge retention - it's very slow to dull and that means conveniently long stretches between sharpening sessions. That's good, because high speed steel is also very slow to sharpen, so those sharpening sessions might be long.

It's all about convenience and cutting feel. This is a light-for-its-length, rust-resistant all-rounder with wonderful cutting feel. Sharpening - maybe once a year even if used every day. The sandalwood handle feels great and will last forever. Please note, if a perfectly flush handle-fit is important to you, please study our images carefully before placing your order. The likely gap lurking under the handle sticker can be nicely finished with resin (can be a little messy) or color-matched for a very clean result with mouldable rubber
