Blacksmith Culture Knife

Kitchen Knife (Everyone's Tool #02) The Bunka Knife (Santoku Knife) has been completed by a craftsman of Yamagata Uchihamono who is producing the. The production concept of Tagaru Knife was "the second knife that appears many times". The first knife is the so-called "bunka knife" (santoku knife). The starting point was that it would be best to use the knife as a second knife. Tagaru knives were completed at the end of 2015, and since they went on sale, they have been much more popular than expected and are being used by many customers. The sharpness of the knives, as well as the hammered pattern and the handmade handle, were well received, and the users were able to experience the difference between the mass-produced punching knives and the knives forged one by one by craftsmen. Among them, we received many voices saying that they wanted to use Bunka Knives as part of the Tagaru Knife series. In response to this request, we made many prototypes with Shimada Hamono Seisakusho, which produced the knives we wanted, and completed this Bunka Knife. If the hooking knife is the second one, this is the first one. You can use it for everyday cooking. The size is generally said to be a cultural kitchen knife. Among them, if there is a width in the length of the blade, it is a size that can be said to be long. The length is long enough for general home cooking, whether you are cooking for a large number of people, cutting large vegetables, meat or fish. Original pattern using zelkova wood. Even with forged knives, the handle is often outsourced, but this one is made by Mr. Shimada by carving one by one from zelkova wood. Because it is a natural material, the pattern is not uniform, and there may be shades of color where the knots are close. Please be aware that the delivered item is judged to be a non-defective item. Of course, outsourced products tend to look familiar, but despite being a bunka knife, the handle is shaped like a knife and fastened with brass. The blade is a swordsmith's cutlery, and the overall finish is a kitchen knife with a somewhat Western atmosphere. Hammer marks remain on the blade after being struck, and this is a unique taste of forged knives. The bumps on the hammer make it easy to separate from the blade when slicing cucumbers. Most of the knives used by Japanese chefs have a "single-edged edge", but this Bunka Knife has a "double-edged edge" because of the concept of being the first knife that you use every day. Please be assured that it is the same as a commercially available kitchen knife and the usability is also the same. The double-edged blade has a symmetrical blade, so it can be used by both right-handed and left-handed people. 【material】 Knife Blade: Stainless Steel Steel Handle: Keyaki (wood) 【size】 Total length: 31cm Blade length: 18.3cm 【box】 Comes in a special box.
