Kazuyuki Tanaka Kengata,
This Japanese Kengata Bunka knife has a core of Japanese Aogami #2 Blue paper (non-stainless) carbon steel with a black Kurochi protective layer. This double-sided sharpened knife is completely hand-forged by the recently passed master blacksmith Kazuyuki Tanaka-san (Father of Shigeki Tanaka-san) and is one of a kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy. A bunka is a universal knife that can be used for meat, fish and vegetables.
