The Blacksmith 

Anyru Hamono is a legendary knife making company that works out the the equally legendary Takefu knife village in the Echizen city area. Knives under this name have long been made by Katsushige Anryu-san who is a chairman of the Takefu Knife village but in 2021 Anryu-san handed over the responsibility of making knives under this name to his nephew Ikeda-san. Ikeda-san has been working as Katsushige Anyru-sans apprentice since 2007 and has been forging a good number of knives for the Anryu Hamono brand for many years.

The Knife

The Bunka is sort of a cross between a Nakiri and a Gyuto. It's tall blade and relatively flat profile make it ideal for up and down chopping up its aggressively shaped tip makes it adept at more intricate tasks as well. It's very similar to a santoku and is a great option for home cooks and professionals alike, who are looking for a nimble, but versatile blade. 




Knife Care (Stainless Clad)

  • This knife is made from 3 layers of steel using a technique called Sanmai (Forge welding). It involves laminating a piece of Carbon steel with two pieces of Stainless steel giving the knife all the benefits of the carbon steel (Edge retention, ease of sharpening, cutting feel) and the Ease of Maintenance from Stainless steel. 2-3 millimeters of the carbon steel is exposed at the edge of the knife and is susceptible to rust and discouloration if not properly maintained.
  • Simply Wipe the knife with a damp cloth immediately after use to keep it from rusting or discouloring.
  • Wash with regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
  • Never put your knife in the Dishwasher. The extreme heat will ruin the wooden handle.
  • Highly acidic ingredients (Onions, Tomatoes, Citrus) Will cause rust and oxidation to happen faster, thus the user must ensure the knife is wiped clean immediately after working with such an ingredient.
  • Should any rust form it can be removed using a rust eraser or a mixture of Baking soda and water to simply scrub it clean.
  • Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies, parmesan rinds, woody stems or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.
