Description
Hand-Forged Kurumi Shikaku Bunka Knife — Tradition Meets Precision.
Forged by YOSHIDA HAMONO, a family forge in Japan known for blending centuries of tradition with modern consistency, this Bunka isn’t just made — it’s crafted with purpose. Each knife is shaped by hand to achieve a razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and an effortless cutting motion that feels like an extension of your own hand.
The 190mm Shikaku Bunka blade features a squared reverse tanto tip for clean detail work and a strong cutting edge for everything from herbs to meat. Its Aogami #2 steel core delivers the sharpness, edge retention, and resilience that define true Japanese blades.
The Kurumi (Japanese Walnut) handle offers natural warmth and a secure, comfortable grip that only improves with use. Paired with a stainless ferrule and clean geometry, it’s a study in understated craftsmanship — simple, elegant, and made to last.
Whether it’s for the dad who cooks like a pro, the chef chasing perfection, or anyone who respects the art of good tools — this knife cuts deeper than performance. It’s legacy forged in steel.

Exceptional sharpness, though a bit lighter than I expected. Still one of the best Japanese knives I’ve used.
