About the Shape - The Bunka is a bonafide badass, like a kitchen knife in a leather jacket. It is a multi-purpose knife akin to the Santoku. “Bunka” translates to “culture". This multi-purpose kitchen knife is great for dicing, slicing or mincing. Like a santoku, it's a cross between the nakiri and a gyuto, just a little more badass looking.
About Masakage Zero - The Masakage Zero line is top-notch, a high-performance knife combining unbelievable sharpness and pure hotness. These blades make people stop in their tracks to catch a second look, with a handle of Ironwood (one of the world's hardest woods), pinned with a mosaic in the shape of a chrysanthemum — the Zero plays second fiddle to no knife.
Aogami Super is the king of knife steel - super easy to sharpen, gets a laser beam edge, cuts like silk and is very rugged for its hardness - It’s called SUPER for a reason. The outer layer is stainless steel, making this knife very easy to maintain.
