What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Ko-bunka knives of this 125mm length are small, for detail work and compact boards.
- It has a Western-style (yo) handle, the kind most cooks outside Japan are used to.
- SLD is semi-stainless: it resists rust better than carbon steel but is not stain-proof.
- It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.
Limits to know
- Like any hard Japanese blade, keep it off bones, frozen food and glass or stone boards.
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 ko-bunka is a small bunka: a short k-tip blade for board-side jobs a petty would do. SLD is semi-stainless: it holds an edge a long time and only needs wiping dry after use. The Western handle has the familiar heft and grip of a European chef's knife.
