Description
HADO Junpaku Bunka 180 mm is a high-quality Japanese kitchen knife, hand-forged in Sakai, Japan. The blade is made of Shirogami #1 steel (White #1), known for taking a very sharp edge. The polished migaki finish gives the knife an elegant, timeless look. The handle is oak with a traditional two-tone Japanese urushi lacquer: a matt natural lacquer on the top and bottom, and a high-gloss red lacquer on the sides. The combination gives a comfortable grip and a handsome look. The knife suits precise work and all-round use in the kitchen, which makes it a useful tool for both professional chefs and food enthusiasts

About the knife type: Bunka (chef's knife)
A bunka is similar to a santoku, but has a sharper, angled tip. It chops vegetables, slices meat and fillets fish.
The tip is good for fine work, but can break more easily, so the knife needs more experience and precision.
About the steel: White #1 (Shirogami #1)
Care and maintenance
