Suncraft Senzo Black Bunka Knife, 20 cm

The Damascus Black Kiritsuke blade is composed of 33 layers of Damascus stainless steel with VG-10 steel as a center  cutting core.

As the cutting core steel VG10 is very hard it enables the knife sharpness to last longer. 

Octagon shape of black and brown pakkawood handle.

Overall length: 34 cm, blade length: 20 cm, blade heigth: 4,8 cm, weigth: 160 g

The wave pattern on the blade, the feature of Damascus steel, looks Japanese in style as if the sharpness is same as traditional Japanese sword, Samurai sword.

Overall knife design is simply sophisticated. There is no rivet on the handle surface. Red ring between the blade and the handle catches eyes. Hammered pattern on the blade also helps the blade glide easily through food without sticking.

The Bunka/Kiritsuke is used as an all rounder by chefs in Japan. An ultra cool toy with a straight edge for and slicing fish and vegetables and a pointy tip for detailed work.
