Sakai Kanechika's 160mm Bunka is forged with a solid core of VG-10 – an advanced Japanese steel developed for the optimal combination of cutting ability, wear resistance and rust resistance. The classic san-mai construction means that the hard VG-10 core is flanked by softer layers of stainless steel, improving the knife's overall flexibility and durability.

The short blade length of 160 mm makes this Bunka light and fast in the hand - perfect for vegetables, fish, smaller cuts and precision work such as julienne or fine herb cutting. The characteristic Bunka tip (with its sharp "reverse tanto" design) provides excellent control when working with small details or cutting raw materials where precision is essential.

The knife has a slightly curved cutting edge, allowing for both push cutting , pull cutting and rock chopping depending on your technique. The pakka wood handle provides a warm, natural feel in the hand and is both water resistant and durable.
