Ko-Bunka

The bunka, where precision meets power, in a smaller package.
A bold sibling of the renowned santoku, the bunka knife features the same flat blade profile, perfect for effortless push and pull cuts. What sets the bunka apart is its striking k-tip—a sharp, angular design (also known as a reverse tanto) that extends beyond the spine for unmatched precision. This unique tip creates an ultra-thin point, ideal for detailed work like fine slicing, scoring, and intricate cuts. With its razor-sharp edge and versatile profile, the bunka is a must-have for chefs who demand both style and performance.

Ko is the Japanese prefix for "small" and this smaller version is great for home use, for anyone who feels uncomfortable with larger chef knives and perfect for beginners and as a gift.
