About Touroku Sakai - Unlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Toroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan. They find the best of the best in every region and bring them together to craft some truly exceptional blades. Like a talented music producer, they match folks and skillsets that complement each other perfectly.
Man, this knife feels so good to handle; perfectly balanced, as all things should be. A little extra steel in the handle gives it more weight than the average Japanese-style handle, but less so than the classic riveted, full-tang handle. The blade is thin and razor sharp, but relatively rugged and low maintenance, thanks to it being made from VG10 stainless steel.
About the Shape -The Ko Bunka is a smaller version of a Bunka. Any guesses on what “Ko” means in Japanese? You nailed it! It translates to “small.” This little knife is awesome because it still gives you knuckle clearance on the cutting board. Making sure you can mince garlic and comfortably chop veggies. A badass love child of the Bunka and Petty knife, it works for smaller jobs in the hand or as an all-purpose blade.
