Miyabi Hibana 6.5" Bunka Utility Knife

A handcrafted Japanese bunka utility knife is designed for everyday prep when you want a compact knife that still feels versatile. The bunka shape supports a wide range of tasks, while the Kiritsuke-style tip helps with precise cuts and detailed trimming.

The bunka shape is described as lighter, thinner and shorter than a Western chef's knife, which can make it feel quicker and easier to maneuver in tight prep spaces. It is a great option when you want chef-knife versatility with a more compact footprint.

The Kiritsuke-style tip is made for dexterity and control when your prep calls for more precision. It is especially helpful for detail work where a fine, agile point makes cutting feel more accurate.

Hibana brings Japanese cutlery traditions together with a distinctive, modern design developed through a longstanding partnership between Miyabi and Sur La Table. The collection also draws on the traditions of samurai sword-making while keeping the focus on everyday usefulness.

For the most accurate guidance, follow the care instructions included with your handcrafted Japanese bunka utility knife. Day to day, keeping the blade clean and dry after use and storing it safely helps protect the edge and finish.
