Co-created in 2020 with three-Michelin-star chef Arnaud Donckele, the Bunka santoku is a versatile kitchen knife: a wide, thin blade with a Japanese-style angled tip and dimples that stop food from sticking, for slicing, chopping, mincing and crushing. Its handle echoes the shape of a boat's hull. Each piece bears the chef's "DA" engraving. Handmade in Thiers, exclusive to Neptunia.

Care instructions
Care instructions
Daily cleaning
- Hand wash your knife immediately after use with warm water and mild soap.
- Absolutely avoid the dishwasher, which deteriorates the sharpness and damages noble materials
- Dry the blade and handle completely with a soft cloth after each wash to prevent oxidation
Sharpening and honing
- Sharpen your knife regularly using a sharpening steel to maintain the edge.
- For deeper resharpening (1-2 times per year), use a water stone with a suitable grit or entrust it to a professional
- Respect the original sharpening angle (generally between 15° and 20° for our blades)
Conservation
- Store your knives in a wooden block, on a magnetic bar, or in their original case
- Avoid contact between blades to prevent scratching and dulling
- For extended storage, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the blade
Special precautions
- Never use your knife on hard surfaces (glass, ceramic, marble, metal)
- Choose cutting boards made of wood or food-grade polyethylene.
- Avoid twisting or leveraging movements that could weaken the blade
Maintenance of specific materials
- For wooden handles: occasionally apply a food-grade mineral oil to nourish the wood
- For carbon steel blades: wipe and dry particularly carefully after use and form a protective patina
- For decorative metal parts: a light polish with a soft cloth is usually sufficient
A well-maintained Neptunia knife is an heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation.
