Miyabi Birchwood SG2 6.5-inch Bunka Knife
The bunka combines a nakiri’s flat edge with a clipped, pointed tip, so it chops vegetables like a nakiri and also handles fine tip work such as scoring and coring. The Birchwood 6.5-inch bunka puts that shape on Miyabi’s premium line.Use the flat section for dicing onions and slicing peppers, and the reverse-angled "K-tip," or reverse tanto, for shallots, herbs and the detail work a square nakiri cannot do. It is a compact main knife for a cook who does most of the cutting on vegetables.For a squared tip, compare the Birchwood nakiri. The Miyabi Artisan bunka is the same shape with a hammered finish.
