What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Bunka knives of this 180mm length are a mid size that suits smaller boards and kitchens.
- It has a Japanese-style (wa) handle: a handle without a metal bolster, set into the blade with a hidden tang.
- R2/SG2 is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.
- It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.
Limits to know
- A thin grind cuts easily but is not made for hard or frozen food, bones or twisting in the cut.
Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.
Good to know for beginners
A bunka is a flat, compact all-rounder with a sharp angled tip for detail work. R2/SG2 is stainless, so it shrugs off a wet board. The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
