The Kengata 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.

Sakai Takayuki have come up with a hard 62 HRC Core Aogami Super Blue with a cladded in stainless ku over the AS that has been sand blasted to give it a frosty finish it has a kurouchi hammered finish. The spine has a maintained thickness across the range with most having a dropped tip to complement this incredibly good looking line. The handle is a traditional octagonal shape made of maple wood and a rosewood ferrule.
