This gives them a great cutting feel, but we don't find these knives to be particularly delicate, which makes them a great knife to start out your collection with, or for a high volume professional that needs a steel that is both corrosion resistant, and easy to sharpen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bunka is a mid-sized, all-purpose knife that is compact, nimble, and handles many tasks. It's a touch shorter than the Gyuto and Kiritsuke, making it easier to wield and less intimidating to use. The \"reverse tanto\" or \"K-tip\" gives the user more travel for their guide finger toward the tip of the knife, which is super handy for tasks that require precise tip work, like brunoise shallot or garlic. It's great at slicing smaller proteins and flying through any mid-sized vegetable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Semi-Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlthough this knife is made from semi-stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle and damage the blade over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShould any rust form it can be removed using a rust eraser or a mixture of Baking soda and water to simply scrub it clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54087501218108,"sku":"HGG-150BU","price":194.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3105\/2666\/files\/Japanese-Knife-Hatsukokoro-Ginrei-Bunka-150mm-9.jpg?v=1788465657","url":"https:\/\/sharpknifeshop.com\/products\/hatsukokoro-ginrei-bunka-150-mm","provider":"SHARP Knife Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
