Overview
We are thrilled to introduce the Tokushu Knife Washiji SLD Bunka 175 mm, curated by the Tokushu Knife team. This tip-forward utility blade pairs Hitachi’s SLD semi-stainless tool steel—our personal favorite for its blend of razor-sharpness, edge retention, durability, and easy sharpening—with stainless Washiji cladding whose texture evokes traditional Shoji paper. Just check the choil shot: the laser-like grind punches far above its price point. Finished with a 128 mm carbon-fiber octagonal handle, the knife feels feather-light (~145 g) while perfectly balancing the 175 mm blade for effortless push cuts, rock chops, and precision tip work.
Common Questions
Q: Is this Bunka versatile enough for daily prep?
A: Absolutely. The 175 mm edge, tall profile, and kiritsuke-style tip excel at vegetable prep, meat trimming, fine juliennes, and delicate scoring.
Q: How do I care for SLD steel?
A: SLD is semi-stainless, so rinse and dry right after use. A quick strop and occasional honing keep the edge screaming-sharp while a subtle patina develops.
Q: Why a carbon-fiber handle instead of wood?
A: Carbon-fiber is water-proof, ultra-light, and dimensionally stable, adding modern durability and a sleek look that complements the Washiji finish.
