Seems like a kiritsuke would have been a natural third man in here. The length of the gyuto with the tip and cool factor of the bunka. Feels to me like the natural comparison to the gyuto is the santoku. Either way, fun video always great to see content from you guys.
I'm a sucker for bunkas. I find their blade geometry extremely pleasing to look at and they cut just the same, besides, I don't really need (or like to use, even) a long knife, I'm fine with 6 or 7 inch knife for day to day use, as I only ever use a longer knife for raw meats, which I usually just buy, separate, and prep it all at once for the month
Who wears a spotify beanie? Did you get it as a gift by spotify? What for and if not, where is spotify merch sold? And who likes spotify so much that they would buy spotify merch instead of their favorite bands merch? So many questions..
It's the bevels. Most bunkas have a double edge, albeit at a very acute angle. They're a general purpose cook's knife. A kiritsuke traditionally has a single edge blade. It takes a huge amount of practice to use a traditional kiritsuke proficiently. The kiritsuke-gyuto has a double edge blade. It's basically a gyuto with the profile of a kiritsuke. It's for cooks who've been trained in the western tradition of double edge knives.
One day you'll come back to this video and see this comment praising your editor for using the Final Fantasy VI font in the text overlays. Subtle, small, but wonderful.
Gage, Great video! Was sure you were heading toward Bunka for coolness…Jake-you best be right-but Gage, you have win (imo) because I don’t have 6 bunka. Many more gyutos! Hey-do a “Hybrid shape video of knives you sell.” Please!
So I'm planning on just getting one of everything, I'm sure I'm not the only other one doing that so you should just do a video where you pick "sets" of one of every type of knife. Sets can be based on price, higher end and lower and mid range. Or sets can be based on stainless, carbon, or San Mai.
Great video and to see how nice the Ryusen Bunka is working makes me ready to order it. I just ordered the Ryusen Combo Bunka and Petty from Your shop.
Makes no sense to me. Honesuki is a thin knife designed to take apart poultry without breaking bones. Deba is a knife with a thick spine weighing much more than Honesuki designed to butcher large fish and break bones (of fish)
