Kyohei Kurouchi Bunka 17 cm Keyaki Aogami

The Kyohei Kurouchi Bunka 17 cm Keyaki Aogami Knife is a unique choice for those who value both aesthetics and functionality in the kitchen. This professional Bunka knife with a 17 cm blade is versatile and ideal for precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish. It features an ergonomic shape that ensures convenience and comfort during prolonged use.

The blade is made of the highest quality Aogami #2 steel, known for its exceptional hardness (62 HRC), which makes the knife stay sharp for a long time and resistant to damage. Aogami #2 is a carbon steel, which, although it requires a little more care, offers excellent cutting performance in return. The Kurouchi finish of the blade not only gives it a distinctive, dark appearance, but also acts as a protective layer against rust, increasing the durability of the knife. In addition, thanks to the Kurouchi process, the blade is more resistant to corrosion, although it should be remembered that the knife requires regular cleaning and drying.

High-quality Aogami #2 steel, combined with iron cladding, ensures strength and resistance to mechanical damage. The blade has a subtly contoured thickness that allows for precise cutting, while maintaining adequate rigidity and durability. It is worth noting that this steel is easy to sharpen, and the knife becomes really sharp when sharpened on stones.

The knife handle is made of Keyaki wood, which gives the tool an elegant look and natural texture. This wood is moisture-resistant and fits perfectly in the hand, ensuring comfort during use. In addition, the handle has a durable plastic ferrule that not only stabilizes the grip, but also protects against damage.

The Kyohei Kurouchi Bunka Knife is the perfect choice for cooking enthusiasts who are looking for a tool with high performance and aesthetics, and are not afraid of a little maintenance work. With its excellent cutting properties and unique design, this knife will become an indispensable part of any kitchen.
