The Imojiya line is known for their budget-friendly western series and premium Damascus patterned wa-handled blades. Now added to their collection is this unique Nakiri: a simplistic looking, easy to maintain blade at an excellent price. Fitted to the blade is a gray Pakka wood handle that is built to last and gives this knife a solid, secure in-hand grip. The DSR-1K6 steel used in its construction has very high rust and corrosion resistant properties, however, you may find yourself needing to sharpen it more often than other stainless steels. This blade is excellent for those looking for their first Nakiri and cooks who are looking for a different blade from a conventional chef’s knife/santoku but still very useful in a kitchen for ingredient preparation.

A Bunka is a Santoku (an all-purpose knife) with a kiritsuke-tip. The accentuated tip is great for delicate work, whilst sharing the same versatility as the Santoku. It is a great knife as an addition to an existing all-purpose blade or as a first all-purpose knife for any cook.
