Masakage Kiri Bunka collection-handle With its wonderful sakura handle

With its wonderful sakura handle complimenting a superbly finished blade

A perfect small to mid sized sujihiki in the range and quite simply - it's incredible

If you're looking for the ultimate level of clearance in a handy all round bunka shape then the tall bunka is for you

The cutting edge though will take on a patina (rust coloured patterning) as it is carbon steel but we like that

you'll be delighted not only at how it performs time after time but also how it evolves visually

Masakage Kiri Bunka collection-handle With its wonderful sakura handleNow made by Yoshimi Kato, this bunka is a real beauty. Kiri means mist in Japanese and this is perfectly portrayed by the damascus stainless cladding that protects the VG10 core steel. This is a low maintenance knife due to being completely stainless, cuts well and will stay sharp for a long time thanks to the qualities of the VG10 core.
