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: Blue #2 (Aogami #2)

Offers a balance between sharpness, durability and ease of sharpening. Versatile and common among professional chefs. Clean and dry straight after use; avoid long exposure to moisture. Develops a protective patina over time that reduces the risk of rust and gives the blade its own look.

Customer photo review of Knivblad 165 mm, HATSUKOKORO Kurogane Bunka

Det ble endelig en bunka, og for en kniv det ble. Nesten drømmekniv. Den ser skikkelig bra ut og skjærer helt nydelig. Litt tykk i bladet, men det funker fint for måten jeg kutter på. Kantene er også litt skarpe, noe som kan være litt vondt ved enkelte grep, men ikke nok til å trekke mye ned. Jeg kan heller ikke huske sist jeg klarte å skjære cherrytomater i tynne, jevne skiver med en vanlig kniv. Denne gjør det uten å nøle.
