Not a Bunmei but for the price you will not find a better knife.DavidI bought this knife because I got sick of paying so much for sushi at restaurants, that I'd figure I'd try my hand in making my own sushi. I tried cutting the sushi with a chefs knife that I had in my block at home, and it just wasn't cutting it right, the sashimi was falling apart and I was becoming frustrated with just how slow I had to cut in order for it to work. So, I bought this little guy and voila, it's cutting through fish like butter. It does feel a little cheap, but it's holding together very nicely. I think the blade must be high in carbon because the knife is very light. I'm not a serious "knife person" who needs very expensive knives that require a lot of maintenance, this knife works very well though in my opinion.My first step into Japanese knives, this was an inexpensive way to start. Razor sharp , the wood handle isn't sealed so thats something I need to doI bought this for my son and he loves it. Only thing that would make it better would be if it had a case.The picture for this item shows three knives, when really you are just purchasing one knife. I bought this item and thought I was going to receive three knives, when it came there was only one knife the skinnier of the three. Just want everyone to know what they are ordering.
