Bunka Petty, 13,5 cm blade. The Petty knife is the Japanese equivalent of a small utility knife. It is ideal for small and detailed cutting tasks, where a full-sized chef knife would be too cumbersome. Bunka (文化) means “culture” in Japanese. The name derives from its traditional use inmaking cultural cuisine in Japanese homes. Just like the common Petty knife, the Bunka Petty has a medium-sized blade with a flat profile; however, their blade tips are shaped very differently. Bunka knives are recognisable from their “reverse Tanto” profile, also called “K-tip”, which makes them more precise than a classic rounded blade. Japanese precision, Western robustness.The best of both worlds. ABOUT THE MAKER KOTAI was born as a bridge between Asian and Western cutlery. Light, precise, and ultra-sharp like a Japanese knife yet stainless, sturdy and very durable like a German knife.All the pros without the cons, no compromise. KOTAI means “solid” in Japanese; durability and performance are the defining values behind all our creations.
