KOTAI | Bunka Santoku Knife | 17 cm Blade | Multi-Purpose Knife | Hand Sharpened and Forged | Ultra-Sharp 440C Japanese Stainless Steel | Ebonywood Handle | Full Hidden Tang

ULTRA SHARP: High carbon Japanese 440C stainless steel blade (1% carbon for a blade 3 times harder and sharper, and that stays that way longer). Slices all types of food effortlessly for a clean and precise cut that preserves all the flavor of the ingredients.

HAMMERED FINISH: Called “Tsuchime” in Japanese, this hammering technique is handmade by KOTAI craftsmen. In addition to its unique aesthetic qualities, this reduces friction and allows food to stick less to the blade while cutting.

COMFORT AND PRECISION: The Bunka Santoku is the more traditional equivalent of the Santoku: a versatile knife ideal for chopping vegetables and fruits, slicing through meats, and preparing fish (everything except bones and frozen foods).

DURABLE AND HYGIENIC: Unique octagonal hand-polished ebony handle ensures a firm and comfortable grip, even with wet hands, for right and left-handers. The handle is made of 100% ebony, a dark precious wood renowned for its hardness and the natural patina it develops over the years. Water-resistant and helps prevent splinters normally found in wooden handles.

EASY MAINTENANCE: Blade forged from a unique alloy of Japanese 440C steel containing 17% chrome to prevent rust. Your purchase of a KOTAI knife is protected by a LIFETIME WARRANTY, plus a hassle-free 90-day return warranty.
