The SW Washiji series uses Swedish 19C27 stainless steel - a high-purity steel with a fine grain structure that takes a keen edge and sharpens easily on a whetstone. The stepped grind and washiji pear-skin finish work together to reduce drag and prevent food from sticking to the flat. The bunka's reverse tanto tip adds precision point work to its flat-profiled vegetable-cutting capability. A workhorse knife suited to both professionals and home cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54786288386339,"sku":"T SW Washiji BufWO bunka","price":226.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/561C5C47-CD2B-41FE-BD09-690608AA7CB4.jpg?v=1782646959","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/tsunehisa-sw-washiji-bunka-knife-170mm-made-in-japan-buffalo-horn-magnolia-handle","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
