About Ko-Bunkas

The Ko Bunka is a smaller version of a Bunka. Any guesses on what “Ko” means in Japanese? You nailed it! It translates to “small.” 

This little knife is awesome because it still gives you knuckle clearance on the cutting board, making sure you can mince garlic and comfortably chop veggies. A badass love child of the Bunka and Petty knife, it works for smaller jobs in the hand or as an all-purpose blade. You can even use a ko-bunka to carefully debone smaller meats, fish and birds!
