A Bunka is a general purpose knife that performs a variety of tasks well. This particular knife is a great overall size; big enough for many chef knife tasks but also small enough for detail work.
The blade is made from A2 and was heat treated by me to 61HRC. Edge holding is great, but be aware that A2 will eventually develop a patina in the kitchen. The blade features a full flat grind that I slightly convex. I have found that this aids in food release.
The geometry is phenomenal! This is a pure slicer that will cut effortlessly! The edge is ground very thin to achieve this, so keep that in mind.
Overall, this is an outstanding knife that offers world class cutting performance!
