Shibata Koutetsu SG2 Migaki 135mm Ko-Bunka

Introducing the Shibata Koutetsu 135mm Ko-Bunka Kitchen Knife, a masterpiece by legendary blade smith and sharpener, Takayuki Shibata. Shibata-san's unique design philosophy is evident in this exceptional knife, made with R-2 powdered stainless steel alloy for the inner layer, coated with a softer stainless steel outer layer, and finished with a hand-executed rough finish for optimal food release.

This knife, inspired by a blend of gyuto and nakiri, features a slight curve for reduced friction and optimal food contact. Its sharp point is perfect for scoring vegetables, squid, or chicken. With a HRC rating of 62-63, the knife is easy to sharpen, maintains its edge longer, and resists damage.

The Shibata Koutetsu 135mm Ko-Bunka is crafted to the highest standards, exemplifying the fine grind and superb fit and finish of the Kotetsu line. Its compact size and laser-like blade ensure nimble and quick cutting, while the generous blade height provides extra finger clearance. The mirror-polished spine enhances control, comfort, and safety.

Designed for discerning chefs, this knife embodies the philosophy of "Art over beauty," making it a true work of art for the kitchen. Experience the difference with the Shibata Koutetsu 135mm Ko-Bunka Kitchen Knife.

Useful little knife

It's so sharp it gets some getting used to. The length makes it easy to make delicate cuts.

Also, shout out to the team for absolutely wonderful customer service. Had an issue with complimentary shipping to Singapore sorted out in a flash, and I'll confidently return to Tokushu for my next nice knife purchase.

Shibata Ko-Bunka - finest edge in the kitchen

Purchasing this fine blade through Tokushu Knife has been a very positive experience, prompt and skillful handle installation, and overall service. I have already put in a second order, thank you guys, keep up the great work, definitely recommended!

Finger room is a good thing!

This essentially functions like a tall petty. Most petty knives don't leave much room for fingers under the handle but this knife, being a bit higher, saves your knuckles. It's also ridiculously sharp. So sharp that when I go to slice garlic, the garlic starts shaking.
