Santoku / Bunka (Home Chef's Knife)
The santoku (and bunka by extension) is an all-purpose blade that is incredibly useful in kitchens with less space. It is a shape that many find accessible, showcasing a less-aggressive blade geometry and equal versatility to a full-size chef's knife. Even folks who use paring knives for everything can quickly get used to this blade since it brings so much utility in a compact size.
