This Masakage bunka is a very versatile kitchen knife that is capable of performing many normal cutting and slicing tasks as well as taking on garnishes and carrying out small in-hand detail work. It boasts the very attractive and useful reverse tanto tip that further enhances its abilities. This fun and functional blade will slice scallions, chop herbs, or bone chickens and cuts of meat with ease and control. The taller blade height is also perfect for larger hands or those desiring more hand to board clearance.
Kumo translates into Clouds and it is the perfect description for the cloudy looking damascus pattern that is a feature of the line.
The knife is all stainless steel, utilizing VG-10 as the core with a softer stainless alloy employed as the damascus layer. VG-10 is a wonderful knife steel as it can take a very sharp edge and hold that sharpness for a long time. It is also fairly easy to sharpen back to this superior edge. The blade is perfectly matched to a fine rosewood and black pakka wood handle that is comfortable to hold and use for long periods.
