Knife - Bunka Santoku, blade 17 cm.
The Bunka Santoku is the more traditional equivalent of the Santoku: a versatile knife ideal for chopping vegetables and fruit, cutting through meat and preparing fish (everything except bones and frozen products).
Bunka (文化) means "culture" in Japanese. The name is derived from its traditional use in making cultural dishes in Japanese homes.
Like the regular Santoku, the Bunka has a long and flat blade profile; however, their blade tips are shaped very differently. Bunka knives are recognizable by their “reverse Tanto” profile, also called “K-tip”, which makes them more precise than a classic round knife.
Japanese precision, Western robustness.
The best of both worlds.
* 100% handmade
* Ultra sharp Japanese 440C high carbon stainless steel
* Hidden full tang
* Ebony handle
* HRC hardness: 60+/-1
* Weight: 170g
* Perfectly balanced
* Stainless steel
* Bamboo Saya (sheath or blade guard) included with every knife
* Lifetime warranty
The signature octagonal handle is crafted from rare ebony, a beautiful dark natural wood known for its hardness and ability to age well. The Bunka Santoku features a Tsuchime (hammered) blade for aesthetics and performance, and a concealed full tang for optimum balance and durability.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the "Tsuchime" (槌目) (hammered) pattern creates small air bubbles between the knife and the food being cut. This ancestral Japanese method reduces resistance, preventing food from sticking to the knife.
The thin 1.8mm blade allows for precise and sharp cuts, never crushing even the most delicate foods to preserve their full flavour.
Forged from Japanese 440C high carbon stainless steel, the KOTAI Bunka Santoku blade stays sharp up to 10 times longer than other knives. 440C combines a high carbon content for hardness and edge retention with the optimum amount of chromium for corrosion resistance.
Hidden Full Tang - KOTAI blades extend all the way to the bottom of the handle - for superior durability and balance.
