Ideal for handling vegetables, meat, and fish, the Bunka is a multifunctional knife celebrated for its utility and unique aesthetic.

Steel Type

Japanese Ginsan steel, also known as Silver-3 or G3, is an underrated high-grade semi-stainless steel loved by many for being in the ‘goldilocks zone’ of knife steels. It holds a very respectable edge, but is effortless to sharpen. It is considered the semi-stainless version of White 2. It is the knife steel of choice for many home cooks and professional chefs alike.

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.

Beautiful all-rounder

I find the look and finish of this knife is much better than it looked online. It has great detail with respects to all the parts of the blade. I must say that it's a pleasure to use and almost a little bit of an all-rounder knife, excelled at most things. It is also very well balanced and feels great in the hand.

Great entry to Japanese knives

Great first knife for someone wanting to test the waters before spending the big $$s …. If you’re used to western knives it’s good to see if you enjoy a Japanese handle and style of knife.
Sharp out of the box and the steel is usually seen in more expensive knives.

Perfect first Japanese knife

I took a long time to research into different metal compositions, styles and finishes of Japanese knives and whilst it was a toss up between a santoku or bunka, ultimately, the black friday deals got me. The bunka is a perfect do (mostly) everything knife and the Tsunehisa Ginsan Nashiji Bunka scratches every itch that I had previously for Japanese Knives. I've been finding any excuse to slice things!
