Description

The Bunka translates to "culture", which is a cross between a Nakiri and Gyuto Knife. This all-purpose tall blade Enso SG2 Bunka Knife 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. Enso SG2 features an extremely sharp cutting edge. Constructed of Japanese SG2 Micro Carbide powder stainless steel, which is enveloped by 101 layers combined with alternating soft and hard stainless steel. The corrosion resistant powdered carbon steel has an unprecedented 63 Rockwell hardness. Powdered steel is used because it ensures a high degree of purity and strength. The resulting blade is extremely hard, ensuring an exceptionally sharp cutting edge. The surface impresses a fascinating Damascus design pattern. The handle is made of black canvas micarta with a stainless steel bolster, red spacers and Samurai Crest. The engraved end-cap of the handle is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which provides outstanding stability and balance. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan with a lifetime warranty.

    Great All-around knife

    What a wonderful knife. It's well balanced, with a thin blade that seems to hold a very fine edge for a very long time. The knife is very well balanced, more than the Gyuto so it feels very nice and maneuverable. I can't believe how sharp this knife is or how handy that Kiritsuke tip is for fine cutting.

    Sharpest Knife

    I recently purchased the Enso 7inch Bunka knife and I couldn’t be happier. The knife is super sharp, light weight and well balanced. It holds an edge extremely well and I’ve owned many great knives including Shun and Global and this may surpass them all in terms of performance!

    Best knife so far

    Got it on sale month ago. Put it in use immediately it’s razor sharp be careful! With my continuing knives evolution I can certainly admit a big difference between Chinese made Copies and originals made in Japan. After few uses of 73 layers Damascan steel Chinese knife showed me microscopic dents right on the cutting edge of the knife, That was upsetting also it much heavier than Japanese. kudos to Japan! Looks like they know what they doing. and no offense to great country of China! Giving you pictures of both and thank you!

    Stunningly beautiful and sharp

    This is my first Bunka knife and I have been using it now for about a month. The fit and finish is outstanding and it comes incredibly sharp out of the box . . . I found no need to give it an extra strop or finish on a high grit stone. I use it for the most part as a substitute for a similar sized nakiri, and this knife is a bit thinner, lighter, and more delicate feeling than the nakiri. It makes short work of vegetables of all sort. Over a month of use, it feels just as sharp as the day I took it out of the box and hence haven't had tried sharpening it yet (I've been warned that SG2 is going to be more difficult to sharpen). The handle is beautiful and comfortable, although interestingly, feels a bit smaller than the more plain looking handles on the Enso HD knives, which I actually prefer over the handles on the SG2. Bottom line though is that this a great value for an SG2 knife, comes incredibly sharp out of the box, and is a joy to use. The bunka shape strikes a nice balance between a nakiri and a traditional western chef's knife.
