Description

The Zanmai Beyond Aogami Super Bunka is suitable for cutting fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and more. The belly of the blade makes this the ultimate push cut master for either long or short cuts. The triangular tip area is particularly useful for detailed work. The Bunka translates to “culture”, which is a cross between a Nakiri and Gyuto Knife.
