Description: A bunka is a Japanese general-purpose chef's knife. Like the santoku, the bunka is a knife of many talents that can easily handle all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, the bunka is light, agile, and very easy to maneuver. There's plenty belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which adds to the bunka's versatility. Once you use it, you'll find yourself reaching for this precision knife more and more often.
This knife will be a perfect 'go-to' knife in the kitchen. The 6-1/2 inch blade provides enough reach to get nearly any task done, yet it is easy to control. A gentle arc to the blade's edge makes this a perfect knife for both a rocking chop and a forward slice. Whether chopping onions, slicing tomatoes, mincing parsley, or portioning and slicing meats, this elegant chef's knife is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
The blade is hand forged from Losacco’s own mosaic damascus, combining 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels. The highly controlled pattern shows tremendous skill in the forge. A Fujiwara-inspired finger notch encourages a pinch grip for greater control. The convex ground blade assists with food release while the thin geometry will effortlessly slice and chop.
The faceted handle is contoured stabilized spalted maple. The front of the handle is sealed with an antiqued bronze bolster. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
The knife is accompanied by a tin of Elemental Forge wax to protect the carbon steel blade and wood handle. It also includes an edge guard for safe storage when not in use.
Exceptional work throughout!
