The Ko Bunka knife is a versatile tool, excelling at a wide range of tasks from mincing shallots to breaking down a chicken. This 135mm petty knife from the Masakage Yuki series features a Shirogami #2 carbon steel core, ensuring a razor-sharp edge capable of handling any kitchen task. Over time, the carbon steel will develop a patina, adding character to the blade, while its stainless steel cladding simplifies maintenance.
Like all knives in the Masakage Yuki lineup, the 135mm Ko Bunka showcases a stunning nashiji (pear skin) finish, enhancing both its beauty and food release properties. As a handcrafted knife, each piece is unique, with slight dimensional variations that highlight the craftsmanship behind it.Brand: Masakage
