What is a 'Bunka' knife?

A Bunka knife is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife used at home and by professionals to prepare meat, fish, and vegetables. "Bunka" means "culture," showing its importance in Japanese cooking traditions. The knife has a unique reverse-tanto tip, similar to a katana, perfect for precise cuts. Its wide blade and flat edge are great for chopping, and the pointed tip works well for detailed tasks. Created in the late 19th century, the Bunka knife blends traditional craftsmanship with modern cooking needs, making it a valuable tool in today’s kitchens.
