Nigara VG10 Damascus Tsuchime Bunka 175mm, multi-purpose k-tip knife
This bunka is a multi-purpose knife whose k-tip adds precision for detailed work. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Nigara with a tsuchime finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for everyday prep plus detailed tip work. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

The VG10 stainless steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.

Best bunka I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.
