Rooted in Japanese tradition the Bunka shape is a lighter thinner and shorter alternative to the classic Western-style Chef’s Knife blending the versatility of the classic Chef style with the precision of a Santoku. Like the Santoku the Bunka features a wide stocky profile with the sharply angled tip of the Kiritsuke (also known as the “reverse tanto”) for added precision and dexterity—making this shape extremely useful in the kitchen.
