Yoshimi Kato has taken the reins of the business that his father-in-law, Hiroshi, started and is making some of the best blades coming out of Echizen today. This bunka features a traditional oval wa handle.
Bunkas are general-purpose knives tackling a wide range of common kitchen tasks. Their reverse tanto profile gives the knives a dexterous and delicate tip and a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. These can be used any time a gyuto or santoku might be called for. Since bunkas have fairly flat profiles they are most adept at push cutting and chopping rather than rock chopping.
The Kato VG-10 Damascus wa-bunka is a well-balanced, well-made, and extremely fine-looking piece of kitchen cutlery. Handmade by a genuine master blacksmith, and all at an affordable price. Highly recommended.Blacksmith: Yoshimi Kato
