They are lightweight and have a Tsuchime hammered finish.

They produce knives following master bladesmith, Tadafusa’s OEM designs. A Bunka is versatile much like a Santoku. They are recognizable by the hard clip of the tip making it a drop point design. Its profile exhibits a shorter blade with modest curve making it user-friendly and versatile. Note: This knife is not stainless steel. To prevent rusting, be sure to dry the blade thoroughly and avoid exposure to acidic liquids.
