The Moritaka Bunka is the ultimate general-purpose kitchen companion. Compact for easy handling, yet tall enough to handle efficient chopping and push-cutting, this knife delivers the perfect balance between control and versatility. Handcrafted by Moritaka Hamono in Yatsushiro, Japan, this bunka features Aogami Super Steel with an impressive Rockwell hardness of 65+-. This premium steel not only takes an exceptionally sharp edge but also maintains it through extended use, making it an ideal choice for both home cooks and professionals.
The octagonal handle, made from ho wood, offers a comfortable grip, while the buffalo horn ferrule adds a touch of elegance and stability. This knife showcases the signature kurouchi finish that enhances its rustic, artisanal look, as well as a stainless steel tang to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. Remember this knife is made with a carbon steel edge and needs to be towel dried after using and washing the blade.Blacksmith: Moritaka Hamono

Have been using this for about 6 months and still love it.
I’m a home cook with several years past restaurant kitchen experience.
This is the 1st Japanese knife I’ve purchased and I’m very impressed. The look, feel and effortless ease of wielding are all worth the $$.. I tell folks it’s like a light saber.. All I have to do is think.. Go through the potatoes and zip zip zip diced taters.. Thanks CKTG!!
