Collection: Bunka Knife-Multipurpose

The bunka is a general-purpose knife that does the same work as a santoku, with one difference: an angled k-tip (kiritsuke tip) instead of a rounded nose. That reverse tip is handy for scoring, fine detail cuts and getting into tight spots, and it gives the knife a striking traditional look.

Bunka are usually 165 to 180mm and suit cooks who like a compact blade with a sharp point. Compare it with the gyuto and santoku in our comparison guide.
