Description

Le Bunka est un couteau de type tout usage qui a un profil plus droit au niveau du tranchant qu’un Santoku. Cela rend le mouvement de coupe de balancier plus difficile à effectuer. Le Bunka est toutefois parfait pour être utilisé avec la méthode « push-cut » ou « pull-cut ». Sa pointe fine apporte précision et agilité puisqu’elle passe plus facilement au travers des aliments lors de la coupe.

Artisan créatif, Go Yoshizawa fait rayonner l’entreprise familiale. Il est le chef de la forge de Nigara, l’une des forges les plus reconnues au Japon et mondialement, et célèbre pour le travail du damascus. Yoshizawa-san s’appuie sur des bases solides du travail de l’acier qu’il a développées au fil des années afin de découvrir et d’explorer de nouveaux procédés. La forge de Nigara et ses artisans-forgerons continuent de nous épater en nous offrant des couteaux aussi beaux que performants.

Le Super Gold 2 ou le SG2 est un acier issu de la métallurgie des poudres conçu par Takefu Special Steel Co Ltd en 1991 à Takefu, Echizen dans la préfecture de Fukui. C’est un acier inoxydable à haute teneur en carbone qui est pulvérisé en grains très fins. Ces derniers sont remis ensemble par la suite. Ce procédé permet d’obtenir une structure granulaire homogène, le rendant plus facile à aiguiser et très durable. Le SG2 peut atteindre une dureté de 64 HRC, donc un tranchant à couper le souffle, ce qui fait de lui un acier très réputé dans le monde de la coutellerie japonaise.

Takefu Special Steel Co Ltd, créateur du populaire acier VG-10, souhaitait, avec le SG2, offrir un produit supérieur sur tous les aspects : dureté, rétention de coupe, durabilité, etc.

Tips for best results

Make sure your knife will deliver its absolute best by having it professionally sharpened at least once a year. Please note that our meticulously handcrafted Japanese knives are – unless otherwise noted – carbon steel and not stainless steel. To prevent rust, make sure the blades are patted dry – especially when cutting acidic items. Never cut frozen foods, hard products, bone, or twist the blade when using. Never soak in water after use or put in the dishwasher. After use, store in a cool, dry place and avoid high temperature fluctuations. 

Our commitment to you – our customers
Warranty

Every knife we carry has a lifetime warranty from manufacturing defects and errors. For example, if the handle becomes detached or cracks appear after a few weeks of proper use. Or if there are any blade cracks from the edge to the spine. While such defects are indeed rare, they can occur. In such cases, we will exchange the knife in question or give you a refund. Each warranty case is different depending on the criteria, and we reserve the right in each and every case to evaluate the applicability of our lifetime warranty in the event of any manufacturing defects and errors.

After-Sales service

Do you get the feeling that your knife just can’t “cut it”?

Each knife we carry is supplied with a so-called “factory edge”. Our chef knife range comprises more than 200 different products. While all our handcrafted Japanese knives ship with a “factory edge”, ultimate blade sharpness can vary. If you feel that your knife’s blade edge is not performing to its full potential, feel free to contact us and we will provide you with professional sharpening for free!

Oops! What about the truly Unthinkable?

Was it just through a slight slip of the hand that your knife accidentally fell on the floor and damaged its tip and blade, or it was used to cut a hard, frozen product and chipped? Don’t despair, get in touch with us and we will solve the problem through our in-house, professional sharpening and repair service.

What are the different types of Japanese knives?

What are the different types of Japanese knives?

Each Japanese knife is made with a specific purpose in mind. There are types of multi-purpose knives such as the Gyuto which is the equivalent of a chef's knife or the Santoku which translates into: three virtues, a name that well represents its multiplicity. The Sujihiki and the Yanagiba are made for slicing while the Nakiri and the Usuba are specialized for cutting vegetables. Without forgetting the Petty for precision tasks. The list goes on and the possibilities are diverse.

Why buy a Japanese knife?

Why buy a Japanese knife?

Japanese blades are lighter, very balanced, higher hardness, sharper and retain their sharpness longer. This allows the user greater control of his work tool and a clean cut to alter the texture and flavor of the food as little as possible.
