The Moritaka bunka is a nice general-purpose knife that is small enough for easy control but also tall enough to be able to chop and push-cut effectively. Moritaka Hamono makes these knives for us using Aogami Super steel with a Rockwell hardness of about 65. They take a very nice edge and hold it well. The handle is made of ho wood with a nice buffalo horn ferrule.

Have been using this for about 6 months and still love it.
I’m a home cook with several years past restaurant kitchen experience.
This is the 1st Japanese knife I’ve purchased and I’m very impressed. The look, feel and effortless ease of wielding are all worth the $$.. I tell folks it’s like a light saber.. All I have to do is think.. Go through the potatoes and zip zip zip diced taters.. Thanks CKTG!!
