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. Part of the esteemed Ajikataya (味方屋) collection, this knife blends traditional craftsmanship with refined performance.
Made from high-carbon White #2 steel (Shirogami #2) and finished in a distinctive kurouchi (黒打ち) style, the blade delivers razor-sharp performance, excellent edge retention, and smooth sharpening. The Bunka’s signature k-tip (reverse tanto) profile provides outstanding control for precision cuts—especially useful in vegetable prep, herb mincing, and fine detail work.
The octagonal chestnut wood handle (八角柄) offers a secure, comfortable grip and excellent balance, allowing for fatigue-free use in both home and professional kitchens.
A fusion of tradition and utility, every Ajikataya knife embodies the shokunin (職人) spirit—an enduring commitment to quality, detail, and timeless Japanese forging excellence.
