Bunka: A cross between a santoku and nakiri, the bunka excels in veg prep where push/pull chopping is used. Bunka’s also sport a pointy tip, perfect for scoring mushrooms and dicing small veg! We love the bunka for its badass looks and tall profile.

Bamboo and edge grain hardwood is not recommended due to the hardness.

Avoid cutting through bones to prevent blade chipping.

Refrain from using the knife on frozen food; opt for a knife with softer steel.

Never twist, cleave, or pry the blade if it gets stuck. Gently  remove your knife and try again.
