Saji SPG STRIX 6.3" Bunka

This Saji Bunka is suitable for cutting fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and more. The belly of the blade makes this the ultimate push cut master for either long or short cuts. The triangular tip area is particularly useful for detailed work. The Bunka translates to "culture", which is a cross between a Nakiri and Gyuto Knife. It is made of a new stainless powder steel called SPG STRIX, which offers extreme hardness at 64-65 HRC. Takeshi Saji is a Master blacksmith that is officially certified as "Dentoukougeishi" (Traditional Master Craftsman).
