The bunker is the ultimate bad ass as its a multipurpose knife that sits between the nakiri and a gyuto knife. The word “bunker” means “culture” its a very versatile knife and perfect if you want a slightly wide blade compared to the santoku. The blade’s rocking point is around the same place as a santoku but the big difference is the pointed tip. Its sharp scalpel point is perfect for cutting small shallots but has the belly too chop larger foods and so is the perfect addition to any collection.

The Takeshi Saji SRS13 Hammered Damascus Corian series perfectly showcases the legendary craftsmanship of one of Japan’s most celebrated master bladesmiths. Hand-forged in Echizen, each knife features a premium SRS13 powdered stainless steel core, renowned for its exceptional edge retention, impressive hardness (approximately 62–63 HRC), and outstanding corrosion resistance. The striking mirror polished damascus cladding is finished with a distinctive hammered (tsuchime) pattern, creating a blade that is as visually captivating as it is practical by helping to reduce food sticking during slicing.
