Description

Santoku "Bunka" style kitchen knife, 17 cm blade.

The Santoku is a very versatile knife; Santoku means "three virtues" in Japanese, as it can be used to cut meat, fish, and vegetables. "Bunka" knives are recognizable by their angular, inverted blade profile (inverted Tanto profile); this particular geometry gives them greater precision than a classic rounded profile.

The thin blade of the Damascus Bunka Santoku allows you to slice and mince without ever crushing even the most delicate ingredients, preserving their full flavor. Furthermore, the dimpled blade reduces friction between the knife and the food being cut, preventing it from sticking.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the hammering of the "Tsuchime" (槌目) blade creates tiny air pockets between the blade and the food slices. This ancient Japanese method prevents food from sticking to the blade, resulting in a smooth and quick cut.

The KOTAI Damascus Bunka Santoku is forged from AUS-10 steel, a premium steel that combines a high carbon content for edge hardness and longevity with the optimal amount of chromium to prevent oxidation. The full hidden tang—a single piece of steel extending from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle—gives the Damascus Bunka Santoku ideal balance and exceptional durability. Japanese precision, Western robustness. The best of both worlds.

Damascus steel (or simply Damascus steel) is composed of a layer of very hard steel – in this case, AUS-10 – for the cutting edge, surrounded by 66 successive layers of softer steel to protect the inner layer. This type of blade combines the strengths of a very high-carbon steel – the AUS-10 core layer reaches a hardness of 61 HRC – with the advantages of softer steels, such as impact and corrosion resistance.

The blade, forged from 67 layers of steel, has exceptional cutting performance, while also benefiting from increased durability and resistance to chipping.

In addition to these mechanical properties, Damascus steel is prized because no two Damascus blades will have exactly the same patterns; each knife is unique.
