Kengata style knives (bunkas and kiritsukes) are characterized by a straight cut point and a fairly straight blade profile. These general purpose chef's knives are perfect for all tasks in the kitchen. The straight profile allows you to successfully chop on the cutting board, but with the sharp end you can precisely clean the meat and do other tasks that require precision. The main areas of use are cutting, chopping and slicing meat, fish, vegetables and fruits.
