Blade Type

The Bunka knife, a versatile and traditional Japanese kitchen tool, features a distinctive, angular tip and a wide blade. It's designed for precision tasks like slicing, dicing, and chopping. Ideal for handling vegetables, meat, and fish, the Bunka is a multifunctional knife celebrated for its utility and unique aesthetic.

Steel Type

ATS34 is a unique, high end Japanese knife steel which is becoming more and more popular. It resembles Blue 2 in its composition yet due to the added chromium content, is more resistant to corrosion than carbon steel. In this aspect it is similar to Chromax or SKD, but has a relatively high hardness of around HRC63, meaning it will hold an edge for an extremely long time.

Recommended Maintenance

Store it in a dry environment using magnetic strips, knife rolls, or sayas. Avoid hitting hard or frozen objects and twisting the blade while cutting. These knives are not dishwasher safe. Clean with hot water and a soft cloth, and dry immediately after use to prevent rust spots on the high carbon steel. For more information please read the blog below.

Knife Care

This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.

FANTASTIC KNIFE

Packaged with great care. A really nice knife to use - light and well balanced; much easier (more nimble) to use than a Gyuto for most daily tasks. Good fit and finish with a great grind. Very very sharp OOTB, cuts effortlessly

Incredible

There are so many aspects of this knife that I'm in love with. First off, it's gorgeous, I could hang it up as an art piece. I've had a few high end knives, but none have ever felt as impressive in the hand as this one.
The performance of the knife is fantastic, I've enjoyed every second of its use. The edge holds strong through my constant use of it which is so impressive.
The way the chefs edge team handled the packaging and delivery was also fantastic. I'm so glad I found chefs edge!

On point!

After searching high and low for a Japanese knife retailer I found this great retailer. Cheers Chefs Edge and AussieQ will be cutting many steaks and veggies with this knife.
