A bunka knife by master craftsman Katsuto Tanaka, who makes knives under the Matsubara Hamono brand. The bunka is a small, all-purpose kitchen knife with a sharp tip. The 17-cm blade is made of Shirogami steel. The wa handle is made of walnut wood. This Japanese kitchen knife is not dishwasher-safe. Shirogami steel contains a high carbon content, so the knife should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. We recommend using camellia oil for blade care.

Matsubara Hamono is a Japanese knife workshop located in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture. The fourth generation of blacksmiths of the Tanaka family, headed by Katsuto Tanaka, continues the centuries-old tradition. In addition to master Katsuto, knives are also made by his son, Hiroki Tanaka, who represents the fifth generation of craftsmen.
Matsubara Hamono craftsmen use traditional forging techniques. The brand is known for using high-quality steels, including Shirogami ("white paper") and Aogami ("blue paper"), as well as modern powder steels such as HAP-40 and ZDP-189.
Matsubara Hamono's range includes various types of Japanese kitchen knives, such as santoku, nakiri, gyuto chef's knife, petti and others. Most blades are made using sanmai technology, with a three-layer structure. This ensures the sharpness and durability of the cutting edge. The workshop continues to evolve, adapting to modern demands, for example, experimenting with new steels and designs.
