Rooted in Japanese tradition, the Bunka shape is a lighter, thinner and shorter alternative to the classic, Western-style Chef’s Knife, blending the versatility of the classic Chef style with the precision of a Santoku. Like the Santoku, the Bunka features a wide, stocky profile, with the sharply angled tip of the Kiritsuke (also known as the “reverse tanto”) for added precision and dexterity—making this shape extremely useful in the kitchen.
MIYABI celebrates Japanese craftsmanship with the Artisan Bunka. Using traditional methods and innovative techniques, these knives merge the past and present into an exceptional knife collection.
The potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is layered in a stunning Tsuchime finish. This exquisite, precision-hammered effect helps prevent food from sticking. The CRYODUR® blades feature exceptional sharpness and durability thanks to their innovative, ice-hardening treatment. Each knife features a hand-honed blade finished with a true katana edge, a homage to the samurai swords made in Seki centuries ago.
Crafted with special Cocobolo Rosewood Pakkawood, the handles mirror the beauty of the blade. Sophisticated details include brass and red spacers, a mosaic pin and a stainless-steel end cap. The attractive D-shaped handle is designed to nestle comfortably in your hand for tireless cutting.
