Bunka:
Bunka knives are general purpose knives tackling a wide range of common kitchen tasks. Their reverse tanto profile gives the knives a dexterous and delicate tip and a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. These can be used any time a Gyuto or santoku might be called for. Since Banno Bunkas have fairly flat profiles they are most adept at push cutting and chopping rather than rock chopping.

Masakage Shimo Gyuto 210mm
Masakage Shimo
Masakage Shimo knives are hand forged by Yu Kurosaki from Echizen, Japan. The Shimo is Forged with White Carbon #2/Shirogami #2 steel. The steel is an absolute pleasure to sharpen, takes and silky smooth cutting edge and has very good edge retention.
The edge profile on the Shimo has a very flat heel with a nice belly going up towards the tip, making it great for push and pull cutting motion and definitely has enough curve on the edge for Rock chopping motion.
The core Shirogami #2 steel is cladded in soft Iron. Both the core and the Iron cladding on the Shimo is reactive steel. This knife patinas beautifully but extra care is required when using the knife. We recommend that the knife must be wiped down regularly during use, washed and dried properly after use.
The Shirogami core steel is hardened to HRC62. So the steel is hard and can be delicate. Using a good cutting technique is very important. Make sure your cutting motion is straight up and down with no lateral motion when hitting the cutting board.
High carbon steel is made for precision work and not to be used on any heavy duty tasks.

Sakai Kikumori – Hand-Forged Shirogami Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm
Sakai Kikumori
With a passionate devotion to knife-making as well as working with some of the most skilled craftsman in Japan, Sakai Kikumori has been making cutlery of incredible quality and performance since its inception in 1926.
The Kikumori Kurouchi 210mm Gyuto is Hand-Forged using a core steel of Shirogami #2 , a carbon steel which is often referred to as White Carbon Steel. It is the purest carbon steel and is incredibly easy to sharpen as well as having good edge retention and insane sharpness. Carbon steel, especially White Carbon Steel, requires special care as they are very reactive however, it is less likely to rust when a strong patina has formed.
Sakai Kikumori uses the following Forging Process:
- Steel welding
The fire kiln is heated by propane gas and the inside temperature is 1,100-1,200 centigrade.
Carbon steel is forged into soft iron at 900 centigrade.
Borax and iron oxides are the glue.
- Forging
Shaping the red-hot blade with a belt hammer.
The surface size of blade will become triplicated by being hammered.
The particle of steel becomes fine by being hammered, and the blade has ductility.
The materials splattered from the surface of the blade when being hammered is iron oxide, called beto.
- Annealing
The blade heated at 740 centigrade is rest in the straw ash for one night to cool down slowly to make the blade softer and to remove the internal stress(distortion).
The straw ash retains heat(hold heat)
- Cold forging and shaping
The knife is hammered at room temperature to remove hammer marks to flatten.
- Quenching
The blade is covered with mud which protects it from sharp changes in high temperature.
The blade is heated again to 750-800 centigrade to toughen the steel, and the blade is quickly cooled in a water bath to ensure hardness.
- Tempering
To give strength and toughness to the steel.
Care Instructions:
- Wash and dry the blade by hand immediately after use. Dishwashers are very bad for all knives.
- Use a soft cloth to wash the blade. Avoid abrasive dish scrubbers and powders as these can damage the finish of your beautiful knife.
