A 'Bunka' is a less well-known Japanese blade profile characterised by its cut-off diagonal tip. Our 14cm 'Mini' version is extremely versatile, providing a smaller and more agile alternative to the Santoku. It's optimised for chopping small fruit and veg and the squared off tip can make the knife feel a bit safer in the hand. It has a good shape for carrying prepared food around the kitchen, too.

Optimised for vegetables, its thin blade slices easily and its large surface can be used to scoop up and carry food. Not a cleaver!
