If you are looking for knives that are easy to maintain with beautiful finish and a unique handle that can hold a durable edge, look no further than the Imojiya TH Damascus line. The handle has a good dense/weighty feeling without being bulky, and will accommodate folks with larger hands well too. We recommend these knives to any cooks looking to invest in a series of knives scoring high in both aesthetic as well as performance. 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.
