Slices all types of food effortlessly for a clean and precise cut that preserves all the flavor of the ingredients. - HAMMERED FINISH: Called β€œTsuchime” in Japanese, this hammering technique is handmade by KOTAI craftsmen. In addition to its unique aesthetic qualities, this reduces friction and allows food to stick less to the blade while cutting. - COMFORT AND PRECISION: The Bunka Santoku is the more traditional equivalent of the Santoku: a versatile knife ideal for chopping vegetables and fruits, slicing through meats, and preparing fish (everything except bones and frozen foods). - DURABLE AND HYGIENIC: Unique octagonal hand-polished ebony handle ensures a firm and comfortable grip, even with wet hands, for right and left-handers. The handle is made of 100% ebony, a dark precious wood renowned for its hardness and the natural patina it develops over the years. Water-resistant and helps prevent splinters normally found in wooden handles. - EASY MAINTENANCE: Blade forged from a unique alloy of Japanese 440C steel containing 17% chrome to prevent rust. Your purchase of a KOTAI knife is protected by a LIFETIME WARRANTY, plus a hassle-free 90-day return warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Product Dimensions | 30.3 x 4.9 x 2.5 cm; 170 g | | Finish types | Hammered | | Dishwasher safe? | No | | Is assembly required | No | | Number of pieces | 1 | | Warranty description | Lifetime. | | Batteries required | No | | Included components | 1 Bamboo box, 1 Certificate of authenticity, 1 Knife, 1 Saya (knife sheath) | | Item weight | 0.17 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Blade material:** High Carbon Stainless Steel - **Brand:** KOTAI - **Colour:** Silver, Black - **Handle material:** Ebony - **Blade edge:** Double Bevel ## Images ![KOTAI | Bunka Santoku Knife | 17 cm Blade | Multi-Purpose Knife | Hand Sharpened and Forged | Ultra-Sharp 440C Japanese Stainless Steel | Ebonywood Handle | Full Hidden Tang - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RdE16ZrWL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/489538775-kotai-bunka-santoku-knife-17-cm-blade-multi-purpose-knife](https://www.desertcart.it/products/489538775-kotai-bunka-santoku-knife-17-cm-blade-multi-purpose-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
