En bunka er en allsidig japansk kniv som er kjent for sitt unike design og funksjonalitet. Den kan beskrives som en santoku med en spissere og vinklet tupp. Den karakteristiske tuppen gjør den utmerket til finarbeid, men kan være mer sårbar for å knekke. Den krever derfor en høyere grad av erfaring og presisjon ved bruk.

Enten det er å hakke grønnsaker, skjære kjøtt eller filetere fisk, kan en bunka håndtere ulike oppgaver med presisjon og letthet.

Use
Japanese knives are typically thinner and more delicate than Western knives, so they are not suitable for cutting through bones, frozen foods, or hard objects. Use a softer cutting board made of wood, plastic, or rubber and cut with a rolling motion rather than pressing down forcefully.

Washing and storage
Wash the knife by hand with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Dry the knife with a soft cloth or kitchen towel to prevent rust. Store the knife in a safe, dry place when not in use. Consider using a knife block, magnetic knife holder, or knife sheath to prevent damage to the blade. Read more

Maintenance
We recommend using a ceramic sharpening rod in combination with a leather strap to maintain/sharpen the edge. This will keep the knife sharp for much longer before it needs to be sharpened on a stone. When sharpening, we recommend wet sharpening stones for the best results while removing minimal material.
