Description

The Kotai Essential 6-Piece Knife Set is a must-have for every kitchen enthusiast. This meticulously curated set features a versatile array of knives crafted to tackle any culinary challenge with ease and precision. From delicate slicing to robust chopping, elevate your culinary journey with this kitchen investment that will last a lifetime. 

Bunka knives are recognizable by their "reverse Tanto" profile, also known as "K-tip," which enhances precision compared to a classic rounded blade. The signature octagonal handle is made of ebony wood, renowned for its hardness and aging properties.

The Tsuchime finish involves hammering the blade of the knife to create a unique pattern on the surface. The hammered pattern creates tiny pockets of air between the blade and the food. This ancestral Japanese method reduces drag, thus preventing food from sticking to the blade.

The Bunka collection features hidden full tang blades, extending to the bottom of the handle for enhanced durability and balance.
