A characteristic feature of this line is the asymmetrical sharpening, as per Japanese tradition.\nThe Bunmei consists of 4 basic models made in different sizes: the Usuba for cutting vegetables; the Deba, the traditional Japanese axe, used for precision cuts but also for breaking small bones or bones; the Yanagi Sashimi and the Taco Sashimi for filleting fish thanks to the long, narrow blade.\nSharpened on both sides. Thanks to the sandblasting of the blade, food does not stick. This is why Japanese chefs predominantly use this type of knife. The handle has an ergonomic shape and is made of 'Honki' wood, which offers an excellent grip.\nTECHNICAL DATA\nBlade Length: 18cm\nBlade material: Japanese molybdenum vanadium steel\nHandle material: Honiki Wood\nFEATURES\nMolybdenum\/ Vanadium stainless steel blades\nSlip-resistant wooden handles\nSingle bevel blade.\n15-degree angle\nHand wash only\nMade in Japan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Global","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42323356647518,"sku":"MG-1806\/180\/24","price":840.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4600\/6878\/files\/3c0920877cc24c9cc05d198602481427.jpg?v=1767615808"},{"product_id":"classic-steel-cleaver-16cm","title":"Classic Steel Cleaver, 16cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern kitchen knives are put to the test in today's kitchens - they must withstand everyday wear and tear, they must be safe to use, and they must be functional.\n\u003cbr\u003eSCANPAN Classic Steel knife series is made from high quality German steel to elegantly match the needs of modern kitchens and to pass the test!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scanpan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42323371294814,"sku":"SP9001311600\/4","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4600\/6878\/files\/51a590f4e104eac77a31878a2d527490.jpg?v=1767616323"},{"product_id":"global-g-12-meat-cleaver-440-gram","title":"Global G-12 Meat Cleaver 440 gram","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlobal knives are supposed to be refined, delicate instruments for preparing food to exact specifications.... not the meat cleaver.

Chinese people and chefs use these knives in the same way that Western chef's use Western style chef's knives. These knives will be typically used to prepare all kinds of meat and fish. This is typically the only knife that a Chinese chef will use. Whilst the Chinese chef's knife resembles a cleaver, it does in fact have a sharp thin blade like a standard G series knife. The G-49 is a typical Chinese Caidao with a 2.2mm blade and if used as a traditional cleaver for very heavy chopping, the blade will usually get damaged. Different parts of the blade are used for different tasks with the front of the blade used for a tapping cutting stroke, the middle and back of the knife for heavier chopping work. Whilst it may seem unusual, those skilled with these types of blades can use them for any kitchen task.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe G-50 whilst also a Chinese chef's knife has a much thicker (4.0mm) blade and is known as a \"Gudao\" in Chinese, or Chinese chopper.
