Sakai Kikumori Kikuzuki Kasumi Bunka 180mm

The Kikuzuki Kasumi Bunka 180mm is a beautifully finished knife with serious cutting performance. This blade was expertly forged by master blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka-san in Sakai and finished with a kasumi polish, blending traditional craftsmanship with precision.

The bunka profile offers a fine tip for detailed work and a flat edge perfect for chopping, making it a versatile choice for everyday kitchen tasks.

Crafted with a White 2 carbon steel core and soft iron cladding, it takes on a razor-sharp edge and is easy to maintain with proper care. Like all carbon steel knives, it will develop a natural patina over time and should be kept dry between uses.

The fit and finish are excellent, featuring a clean kasumi line and a comfortable octagonal handle that provides great control without getting in the way.
