The Bunka Profile. SLD Performance.

The Bunka is a traditional Japanese kitchen knife with a flat blade profile similar to the Nakiri, but with a distinctive reverse-tanto (angled) tip that makes it more versatile for precision work - scoring, detail cuts, and tasks where a flat-tipped Nakiri would be limiting. SLD semi-stainless delivers carbon-like sharpness and edge retention with significantly better rust resistance than pure carbon. The yaki oak handle is charred/scorched for a distinctive dark, textured appearance. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hand wash and dry - more rust resistant than carbon but not fully stainless
  • Sharpen on Japanese water stones
  • Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
  • Keep the oak handle dry - do not soak
  • Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
