Overview
This one-of-one Yoshimi Kato SG-STRIX V-Tsuchime Bunka pairs a Japanese kitchen blade with a custom Prisma wa handle. You will receive the exact finished knife shown in the photographs. Its bright, hammered blade contrasts with a dark handle streaked in cream and gold tones and a light honey-colored ferrule.
The bunka's angular tip gives you a precise point for detailed vegetable work, while the broad blade suits slicing, dicing and everyday preparation of vegetables, boneless meat and fish. The V-Tsuchime hammering adds texture above the cutting edge, making this a distinctive knife to use as well as display.
SG-STRIX is a powdered stainless steel developed by Takefu Special Steel. Its design emphasizes a strong steel matrix, high hardness and good sharpenability. Here, it is paired with Kato's bunka profile and a custom handle for a finished knife with its own individual character.
Common Questions
Will I receive the knife in the photos?
Yes. This listing is for one finished knife with the pictured custom Prisma handle. The handle's color and pattern are specific to this piece.
Is a bunka suitable for everyday cooking?
Yes. A bunka is a versatile choice for vegetable preparation and slicing boneless proteins. Use controlled cuts and a knife-friendly board. Avoid bones, frozen food, prying and twisting the edge through hard ingredients.
How should I care for an SG-STRIX knife?
Hand-wash and dry it immediately after use; never put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Stainless steel still benefits from careful drying. Maintain the edge with whetstones and light passes on a Tokushu Knife leather strop between sharpenings. Store the dry blade in a properly fitted guard.
