Japanese Bunkaknife with R2 Steel and Hammered Blade
The Shizuku Wa bunkaknife is handcrafted by master blacksmith Yu Kurosaki using exclusive R2 powder steel and a unique hammered Shizuku pattern. The 16.5 cm blade combines extreme sharpness with durability, while the octagonal rosewood handle ensures perfect balance and comfort.
Ideal for precision work with meat and fish, as well as for chopping, slicing, or shredding vegetables and herbs.
Superior cutting performance with innovative Japanese design
The bunkknife's blade made from SG2/R2 powder steel is among the hardest and most advanced types of steel for kitchen knives. This means not only exceptional sharpness from the start but also that the edge stays sharp significantly longer than ordinary knives. The stainless steel requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional carbon steel knives, saving you from frequent sharpening and care.
Comfort and control in every cutting motion
The hammered Shizuku pattern on the blade gives the knife an artistic expression but also serves a practical function: the pattern reduces friction between the knife and the food, preventing ingredients from sticking to the blade. This allows for more precise cuts and greater control. The ergonomic, octagonal wa handle made of rosewood with a black pakkawood ferrule fits naturally in your hand and provides optimal balance, enabling you to work longer without hand fatigue.
World-class craftsmanship from a Japanese master
Each bunkknife is individually forged by Yu Kurosaki, one of Japan's most respected modern knife makers. He combines 700 years of tradition from the Echizen region with innovative designs and techniques. The result is a knife that functions as a functional work of art in your kitchen, where the pointed tip allows for precision work while the broad blade efficiently handles all types of ingredients.

• Excellent cutting properties with R2 powder steel that stays sharp longer
