Bunka • 180 mm • 1K6 • Burnt oak handle • for both left and right-handed use
The combination with the 1k6 steel, which is forged slightly harder than other mono steels, gives this a perfectly performing knife. Burnt oak octave handle, which is slightly heavier, ensures that the knife is nicely balanced on the head. This distinguishes the Enkoku series from many other Japanese knives with octave handles, which always have the center of gravity more at the front and to which we as Western users often have to get used to.
