'Bunka' Kitchen Knife

Very nice knife. Light but good in the hand. Great for micro dicing veg. Reasonably fast delivery.

I received a straight-back Bunka knife within the set delivery time. I thank Mari for contacting me in meantime to say Hi and assure me my package was on its way. The knife is superb, very organic looking, as well as razor-sharp, and a wet stone for sharpening that was included in the beautiful packaging. (I loved the newspaper from Otia or Fukuoka that served to cushion the knife box; a bonus! :)
Thank you Nakamura-san, your family, and colleagues for your wonderful work. I also thank the Japanese Food Craftsman for creating a community of clients, craftsmen, and friends across the world.

It is an amazingly functional hand forged bunka by a craftsman of many years. A blisteringly sharp aogami edge, clad with forged soft iron for support. This blade is a work horse, it is not beautiful nor perfect and it should not be…it’s hand crafted for purpose, cutting family food in a home. It’s not for show, this knife is for daily use and it will reward with precise cuts and I presume years of service. The geometry is not factory so don’t expect that. Please buy and support the local Japanese smithy’s, if we don’t they will all be gone one day.

Just received it here in Switzerland and I‘m very happy with it! Well done, Nakamura smithy!!

My knife arrived promptly and well-packaged. Very satisfied with the hand-made knife.
