Hinoura Ajikataya 180mm Bunka Knife – White #2 | Kurouchi Finish
Expertly forged by Mutsumi Hinoura, a renowned fourth-generation bladesmith from Sanjo, Niigata, the Ajikataya 180mm Bunka Knife is a striking, all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife tailored for slicing, chopping, and intricate prep work.
