Naru “Hatsukou Series” Aogami #2 Kurouchi 165mm Bunka with Ebony Handle

Disappointed

Blade suffered a large chip on the very first use cutting carrots on a soft hasegawa board. It's just been hanging on my magnet as a sort of heirloom since. Bummed

Exceptional Craftsmanship at an Unbeatable Price!

We couldn’t be happier with our purchase of the Naru Hatsukou Bunka knife. At just $100, this hand-forged blade delivers incredible value and quality that rivals knives several times the price. The Aogami #2 steel is razor sharp right out of the box, and the craftsmanship shows in every detail, from the beautiful Kurouchi finish, to the balanced feel that makes it an absolute pleasure to wield and utilize. Both my wife and I reach for this knife over our traditional 8-inch chef’s knives. It fits perfectly in our hands, feels exceptionally well-balanced, and handles everything from fine slicing to heavier prep work with ease. It's become our go-to knife in the kitchen, and we genuinely enjoy using it every time we cook. A perfect introduction to Japanese craftsmanship at an unbeatable price. Thank you Burrfection!!
