    This is my first bunka and I am very happy that I went with this one! I’m an executive sous chef and my day can consist of breaking down a couple of pounds of onions, too slicing herbs, like chives or filleting salmon, grouper, etc. this is definitely more of a finesse knife, which is 100% the reason I got it. I have knives that I have been with me in my career that are my workhorses , and I feel that this is a perfect balance between laser and a workhorse. You will not be disappointed the natural patina forming is beautiful. Just make sure to wipe it down very pleased with this purchase! An early birthday present!
