Bunka & Hakata Knives

About

The Bunka knife is a general-purpose knife similar to the Santoku. Its profile allows for much the same usage as a Santoku (meats, vegetables, and fish) while having a finer, more pointed tip that aids in precision cutting, such as mukimono or fine cuts, like brunoise and julienne. The Hakata knife is a traditional Japanese knife that originated in the Hakata area of Fukuoka, Japan. Designed as a true all-purpose knife, it handles fish, meat, and vegetables with ease, reflecting the diverse food culture of Kyushu.
