Product Description

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. The MIYABI Birchwood collection features a potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel that’s protected by 100 layers of steel. MIYABI’s innovative, CRYODUR ice-hardening process locks in the blade’s long-lasting sharpness. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides exceptional durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking and comfortable Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look
