It is perfect for slicing fish or meat into thin cuts, as the single grind means the slice releases easily from the blade and falls to the side. The model is also known as a sashimi knife and is popular among sushi chefs.
Bunmei Bunmei makes modern Japanese kitchen knives with a classic cut. The company specialises in traditional models and offers many knives with a single-bevelled blade. They are manufactured at the iconic Yoshikin knife factory, which is also the birthplace of Global knives. Bunmei uses the same hardwearing steel, but with a more distinctly Japanese look. On top of the distinctive blade shape, the knives stand out with their beautiful, light handles in Japanese magnolia.
