Shibata Koutetsu SG2 Migaki 180mm Bunka

Are you a fan of NSYNC? If so, you might be interested to know that Shibata Takayuki is bringing sharp knives back in style. Known as one of the best sharpeners in all of Japan, Shibata's Koutetsu line is renowned for its superior laser grinds.

The Type 2 line stands out from the Type 3 line due to its core steel being SG2, stainless clad, with a k-tip. Shibata's Koutetsus are highly sought after, especially for their added belly height, providing an impressive 52mm of finger knuckle clearance. These knives, regardless of the line or length, are always in high demand, so don't hesitate too long or you might miss out.

A Bunka is already a highly versatile knife, and at 180mm, this Bunka shape becomes even more adaptable, typically featuring some added belly height. Your favourite knife shape just got a little more impressive.
