There are a few things that separate good knives from average knives: steel quality, edge grinds, comfortable handles, good fit and finish, and nice packaging all contribute to making a knife that rises to the top. This line hits the mark. The steel used is Ginsan stainless, which is high quality stainless steel, and the finish is called nashiji (translates to "pear skin"). You can see from the photos this knife is a stunner. The details are all looked after too. Our friend Akane san, hand engraved each knife and she also did the beautiful calligraphy for the Yahiko logo on the box. All in all we're thrilled with these knives!

This G3 bunka is a really great bang for your buck deal. Handle feels and looks great and the box it arrives in is really nice. Ginsan is a great steel for a knife and I recommend it if you are looking for a stainless steel knife. Super easy to sharpen and mainten. Develops a sharp edge and holds it vert well. This bunka is compact, flat, nimble and can handle several tasks for cooking. The engraved kanji really looks nice too! It is a bit smaller than previous bunkas I've used but it performs way above its price point.
