Touroku Sakai Gekka Bunka 180mm
About Touroku Sakai - Unlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Touroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan. They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly.
Man, this knife feels so good to handle; perfectly balanced, as all things should be. A little extra steel in the handle gives it more weight than the average Japanese-style handle, but less so than the classic riveted, full-tang handle. The blade is thin and razor sharp, but relatively rugged and low maintenance, thanks to it being made from VG10 stainless steel.
About the Shape - The Bunka is a bonafide badass, like a kitchen knife in a leather jacket. It is a multi-purpose knife akin to the Santoku. “Bunka” translates to “culture". This multi-purpose kitchen knife is great for dicing, slicing or mincing. Like a santoku, it's a cross between the nakiri and a gyuto, just a little more badass looking.
