NKD- Shibata Boss Bunka 225mm SG2
Thanks to the heads up from some people in the BST, I was able to pick this up from the Chef’s Edge May drop.
I’ve wanted to try some of Shibata-san’s work for a while now, particularly from his Tinker line, but as cool as those knives are, I don’t think they would suit my preferences. However when I saw the Boss Bunka it seemed like something I would vibe with. The length, height, laser thinness are right up my alley. Excited to put this through the paces!
The handle is well made and installed cleanly, however it’s not really my cup of tea so if I do enjoy this knife I will be swapping the pants at some point.
P.S. do Shibata-san’s knives come with lacquer?
P.P.S. How come the kanji is on the opposite side from most other knives?
