Zuiun Bunka 18 cm

Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Bunka 18 cm. It is a multi-purpose knife akin to the Santoku. “Bunka” translates to “culture.” A cross between the Nakiri and Gyuto, Bunkas can do it all. It’s the best of both worlds with the volume cranked to 11. It is crafted to be double edged as opposed to conventional single-edged ones, making it suitable for cutting any type of food by bringing the blade straight down onto the item. As the pointed part of the blade is modeled after a sword, it is also suitable for preparing dishes that involve techniques requiring the use of the tip, such as decorative cutting. The Zuiun is a special model manufactured to celebrate the company’s centennial. Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun knives have blades with a wavy “hamon” pattern similar to Japanese swords.
