Global - 8" Cranked Spatula / Offset Palette Knife - Silver

Rooted in Japanese tradition, the Bunka shape is a lighter, thinner and shorter alternative to the classic, Westernstyle Chef’s Knife, blending the versatility of the classic Chef style with the precision of a Santoku. Like the Santoku, the Bunka features a wide, stocky profile, with the sharply angled tip of the Kiritsuke (also known as the “reverse tanto”) for added precision and dexterity—making this shape extremely useful in the kitchen. MIYABI moves one step closer to perfection with Kaizen II Japanese for “improvement” or "change for the better." The Kaizen II collection boasts traditional Japanese craftsmanship combined with the best hardening technology and beautiful modern design.The core, forged from resilient FC61 super steel, is protected by a stunning 48 layers of stainless steel.
