The Motokyuuichi bunka knife is suitable for those just beginning their acquaintance with Japanese kitchen knives. The classic oval Wa handle is crafted from chestnut wood. The Motokyuuichi blade is made of Shirogami 2 White Paper carbon steel with iron sheaths with a special coating. These sheaths protect the blade's extremely hard core. Hand washing, sharpening with water stones, and using wooden or professional cutting boards are recommended.

Motokyuuichi knives are hand forged by 4th and 5th generation blacksmiths of the Maeda family. The original Kyuuichi family were well renowned swordsmiths during the Edo period, but their lineage gradually disappeared from the sword making craft. In 1895 Motokyuuichi was taken over by swordsmith Shoujirou Maeda who founded the current workshop and applied his skill set to focus on forging harvesting tools, kitchen, hunting and craft knives.
