What makes the Bunka knife unique

This lighter, thinner version of the Harima Bunka maintains all the power of the Aogami Super, but with a more streamlined blade. This makes it even more agile when cutting and comfortable for extended sessions. Its stainless steel coating helps reduce rust, but the carbon steel core continues to develop a natural patina over time, giving it personality. The combination of fine materials and functionality makes it an ideal choice for those looking for their first serious Japanese knife without the hassle of extreme maintenance.
