Features

  • 3-layer blade features a very hard SG2 powdered steel core, sandwiched between two layers of softer stainless steel
  • The very thin blade features a hazy sandblasted finish with a mirror polish finish below the cladding line
  • The bunka knife is a multi-purpose tool for preparing meat, fish and vegetables; the "kiritsuke" tip allows for very precise work while the the shorter blade length and slight curvature of the blade allows for easy maneuverability whether using vertical chopping motion, draw slice or rocking mince
  • Octagonal teak wood handle
  • Made in Tsubame, Japan

Description

The Tojiro Reppu series of Japanese knives elegantly combines modern powder metallurgy with its SG2 steel and a minimalist design featuring an octagonal handle made of teak wood. This knife is very thin, lightweight and extremely sharp. Tojiro's fit and finish is superb and consistent. The "kiritsuke" tip makes intricate cutting easier, while giving the knife a more aggressive appearance. Handcrafted in Tsubame, Japan.

Although Tojiro labels this knife as a kiritsuke, this knife's blade profile is traditionally referred to as a bunka knife. Think of a more compact, taller chef's knife shape with the kiritsuke tip for very fine cutting. The bunka is a multi-purpose tool for preparing meat, fish and vegetables. The slight curvature of the blade allows for easy maneuverability whether using vertical chopping motion, draw slice or rocking mince.

    Super thin and light, versatile knife

    I bought this knife as well as the Ryusen Blazen Bunka, also sg2, to allow my mom to choose which one she wanted for her birthday. I know about knives and manage a kitchen while my mom is a stellar home cook and doesn't know squat about knives. The Ryusen ended up being about $50 more expensive and had far superior fit and finish. The choil was rough with this Tojiro, the spine had almost no sanding and the sand blasted look is underwhelming. That does not mean it isn't a good knife! I really appreciate it's super thin flat grind, and exaggerated belly. My mom and I like to be able to do some rock chopping and this knife provides that without having to go for the larger gyuto. I appreciate the size and precision of this Tojiro. It came very sharp, not quite hair whittling but definitely paper cutting sharp. I can't comment on the ease of sharpening Sg2 as I haven't done it yet. If you are looking for something that has a very thin grind for gliding effortlessly through food, is very very light, and has some belly, this is a great choice. You may sacrifice a bit of fit and finish but I suspect that is true for most knives at this price point. My mom did end up choosing the other knife so I returned the Tojiro but mostly because she thought the Ryusen was prettier ;)
