What it is?
From loaves to rolls, you need a great serrated knife to get that bread! Our unique low-profile serration pattern remains sharp longer and reduces tearing on softer bread while easily getting into hearty, crusty rolls. The K tip, the match that of the Bunka also adds the perfect sharp tip to stab into rolls without tearing. And it’s great to spread butter on fresh bread out of the oven!

Material
Style and Steel
Japanese VG10 steel is prized for the mix of edge retention coupled with the ease of sharpening derived from the above-average carbon amounts without being sensitive to high acid foods. The SanMai process then layers the VG10 with softer cladding steel to protect the blade for years of sharpening and use.
The "kurouchi", or blacksmith finish, is the signature of our forge in Southeast China, a trait learned from the blacksmiths of Seki Japan. By laminating the exterior of the blade in the charred carbon we add not only a protective layer, but increase the food release and of course add that signature look!
