The Bunka knife is a strikingly versatile tool, akin to the Santoku, with its name meaning "culture," reflecting its blend of the Nakiri and Gyuto styles for exceptional performance in the kitchen. This powerful knife embodies the best of both worlds, making it perfect for a wide range of tasks. About Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun: this esteemed knife maker in Seki has roots tracing back to the famous swordsmith Kanetsugu (1336-1392). Founded in 1918, the company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2018 with the launch of the “Zuiun” knife line. Each knife features an SG2 core clad in 62 layers of stainless Damascus, showcasing a beautifully thin edge and elegant taper. The durable heptagon-shaped handle, crafted from pakka wood, ensures strength and comfort, while its machine-forged design represents the pinnacle of quality craftsmanship.

To clean your knife, wash it by hand using mild soap, then rinse with hot water and dry it immediately, as dishwashers can cause damage. For wood handles, apply food-safe wax occasionally to prevent drying and maintain their condition.
