It has been a few years since we last offered Shiro Kamo knives to our customers so we are very pleased to be able to feature these wonderful knives again in our store.

The Kamo SG2 bunka is a lovely kitchen knife that features some stunning damascus work, and fit and finish that are as good as it gets. The very talented blacksmith, Kamo-san, works wonders with R2 stainless steel, turning it into some beautiful pieces of functional art.

The combination of the reverse tanto-style tip and short, tall blade lend the bunka a very purposeful look. These knives are gaining in popularity recently due to their do-it-all abilities. They are adept at cutting, slicing, and chopping, while the tip affords them the ability to take on smaller ingredients and get into tight spaces.

Two of the outstanding attributes of Shiro Kamo knives are their great grinds and out-of-the-box sharpness. The nicely finished spine and choil are well executed and reflect the care and attention that has been devoted to the making of this fine piece of cutlery. The package is completed with a great-looking wa octagonal handle.

      A lovely little all-around knife
    Posted By: C

    I've been using this for a little while now. It's a terrific all-purpose knife. The Damascus was a little grabby when it first arrived, but it has toned down without any sanding or buffing, just use. It takes a fine polish -- I finished it up to 10K -- and holds it well. I like the flat-ish profile, with just enough up-sweep at the tip, and moderately high heel height.
