Скачать или смотреть Bunka Chef's Knife (6.75") with Bigleaf Maple - 26C3 by Sam Reed

A bunka is a Japanese general purpose chef's knife. Like the santoku, the bunka is a knife of many talents that can easily handle all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, the bunka is light, agile, and very easy to maneuver. There's plenty belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which just adds to the bunka's versatility.
The blade is hand forged 26C3 carbon steel with a hand rubbed satin finish. Hardened to 64 Hrc, this Uddeholm carbon steel is a high carbon, low alloy steel well suited for fine cutting knives. Sometimes called 'Spicy White', this very clean steel is relatively similar to Hitachi White. Both the blade and tang are distal tapered for perfect balance. Reed's touchmark is on the right side of the blade.
The ambidextrous Japanese-inspired handle is a style called a half-octagonal. The faceted top is matched with a rounded base for comfort. The bolster and handle are stabilized presentation grade bigleaf maple. Thin black vulcanized fiber surrounds a copper spacer, assisting the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The handle is comfortable in both a pinch grip and a full handle grip. Like other knives, this knife should not go in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout! This nimble chef’s knife is sure to become a kitchen favorite!
