This is very similar to the Bunka which is a mix between a santoku and a gyuto, it has a much more aggressive look but slightly wider than other knives. The tip of the knife is more pronounced and sharp raked knife. This is a more modern style knife and has taken on a huge popularity with chefs.

The 33 layer Sakai Takayuki knives are one of our most popular knives we have and for many years they have been a chef’s favourite. This is due to the outstanding quality of knife and value for money.

The hammered 33 layer blade is called a moonlit due to it resembling a moonlit waves at sea.
