JCK Original Kagayaki CarboNext Series KC-11 Bunka/Kiritsuke 175mm (6.8 inch)

During 2020, we have been working closely with Mr. Gotoh and his Craftsman Team. Today, we are excited to introduce and start selling our new CarboNext Bunka/Kiritsuke knife.

Maintaining the same of high quality finishing and manufacturing standards established by our existing CarboNext line, our stylish new Bunka/Kiritsuke blade comes with a polished blade spine and tip, creating a nice visual accent and providing extra comfort when holding the knife in a pinch grip

Our innovative KAGAYAKI CarboNext product range uses next generation carbon tool steel that we call “CarboNext”. Our CarboNext blades allow you to enjoy all the usual advantages of traditional high carbon steels (i.e. Excellent edge sharpness, excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening), but they offer the additional benefit of improved rust resistance.

The blade is made of solid CarboNext special high carbon tool steel that is hardened to HRc. 59-61. The knife features superb fit and finish, full tang construction and comfortable black pakkawood handles. Its thin blade has a slow gradual taper and is finely ground, which results in excellent cutting performance and blade balance. Because this knife offers greater rust resistance and ease of maintenance than regular high carbon steel knives, we particularly recommend CarboNext Knife to first-time users of carbon steel knives. Professionals and serious amateurs will love their superb blade geometry, cutting performance and quality construction.

The Bunka is a general-purpose kitchen knife that used to be just as popular as the Santoku, but has become less commonplace in recent years. With its tall blade, the Bunka knife is particularly suitable for cutting vegetables or fruit and the triangular tip area is particularly useful for detailed work and cutting fish or meat.

About the Regular Version e ES Version:

Both the Regular Version e ES Version are hand sharpened by skilful, experienced Master Craftsmen. Here we explain the characteristics and differences between the Regular Version e ES Version:

Il Regular Version has a relatively obtuse edge angle that provides adequate sharpness and good cutting performance ‘out-of-the-box’, allowing you to use your knife straight away without having to sharpen it. One of the benefits of choosing the Regular Version is that you can re-sharpen it yourself and create a final edge that is perfectly suited to you own specific requirements and preferences. Experienced users and knife enthusiasts will already understand the significant benefits that are offered by taking this approach.

Il ES Version has much steeper edge angle and thinner edge; This provides superb sharpness and outstanding cutting performance, but the edge is not quite as robust as the Regular Version. Many of our customers requested these fully sharpened knife edges when they started to use their knives. We thoroughly recommend purchasing the ES Version and we are confident that it will meet your needs.

    Informazioni sulla versione per mancini

    Master Craftsman modifies edge shape and bevel for left hand use by hand sharpening process at the following additional cost:

    • Petty + US$6
    • Santoku, Bunka, Kiritsuke, Gyuto + $10

    Left handed versions are normally in stock for immediate shipping. However, when it became out of stock, please allow 3 to 6 days for shipping.

    For your information, many of the Japanese Kitchen knives come originally with double bevel edge sharpened 70/30 (face side/back side) for Western style knives. This geometry came from Japanese Traditional knives with single bevel edge and Shinogi blade construction. This is one of the special features and reasons why Japanese knives have an excellent cutting performance.

    Tuttavia, questa geometria del tagliente 70/30 è progettata per l'uso con la mano destra, quindi abbiamo un servizio per modificarla in 30/70 per gli utenti mancini con un processo di riaffilatura da parte di un artigiano esperto.

    Istruzioni e manutenzione

    Information About The Care & Maintenance of CarboNext Knives
    While our CarboNext knives have better rust resistance than other plain carbon steel knives, they will discolor and rust if not cared for properly. To keep your knife in good condition, please do not leave it in wet or salty conditions for a long time. After hand washing the knife, we recommend that you carefully rinse the knife with plain warm water and dry it with a clean cloth. It is important to make sure that there is no water left between the blade tang and the handle, or bolster, because this can lead to corrosion.

    Riteniamo che la qualità e le prestazioni di taglio dei coltelli giapponesi siano le migliori al mondo e ci auguriamo che possiate godere di un'ottima lavorazione e di un bordo affilato con il vostro nuovo coltello. Con le dovute attenzioni, ogni coltello giapponese dovrebbe essere il vostro partner speciale in cucina per molto tempo.

    Importante

    Questo è il coltello da cucina con lama in acciaio al carbonio che può arrugginirsi e scolorirsi facilmente e richiede una cura e un'attenzione particolari per evitare la ruggine.

    • Non mettere il coltello in lavastoviglie per pulirlo.
    • Non lasciare il coltello in acqua o in condizioni di umidità per lungo tempo.
    • Dopo l'uso, lavare accuratamente a mano la lama, il bolster e l'impugnatura e asciugare con panni morbidi. Applicare l'olio Tsubaki sulla lama e conservarla in un luogo asciutto.
    • Questo coltello è estremamente affilato. Si prega di prestare particolare attenzione nell'uso e nella conservazione.
    • A differenza dei coltelli di produzione tedesca, le lame dei coltelli giapponesi sono rettificate con un tagliente sottile per un taglio più affilato e una riaffilatura più facile. Si prega di proteggere il tagliente dagli urti con materiali duri per evitare scheggiature o incrinature.
    • Non utilizzarlo per tagliare alimenti con osso o congelati, né alimenti con guscio duro come aragoste e granchi.
    • Si consiglia di utilizzare le pietre giapponesi per riaffilare il coltello quando si opacizza.
