Witnessing the forging of a curved-back Bunka knife was an exceptional experience. Holding one in my hand is an even more gratifying endeavor. I possess a collection of Japanese knives, of traditional designs, but the Bunka knife holds a special place in my heart. The Nakamura Hamono Bunka knife stands out for its exceptional thinness, balance, and sharp edge retention. It excels in slicing vegetables with remarkable precision. I acquired the one with a blackened Chestnut Ma handle, which provides exceptional control. The price of this knife is remarkably affordable, as I have Bunka knives that are four times more expensive and are not that much better.
Dear Kenneth,
Thank you for your review and for supporting Japanese craftsmen! We are thrilled to hear that you are satisfied with the quality and performance of your bunka knife, as will Nakamura Hamono. We hope you will enjoy it for many years to come.

My wife and I really love our first Japanese knife. Well-made with good balance and ultra-sharp. We look forward to trying more of the other knives from this manufacturer. Thanks also to good communication and timely update from Mari.

Nice finishing, Good Quality 👍
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when ordering this knife. I had seen this Smithys name before, but never personally owned anything from him. I saw the price and figured I would try it out, it can't be too bad.
I was right! This is hands down one of my top favorite knives now. The craftmanship is amazing.. You can see the hand work that went into it, which is what I fell in love with Japanese knives for to begin with. I am so pleased I am about to order 2 more, and another to give away on my Youtube channel. Thank you Japanese Food Craftsmen for offering this knife and this maker, and thank you for the most amazingly packaged item and shipping it to me with such care!
