Really good series
I reach for one of my Enso SG2 series knives when doing a quick prep and don’t want to be extra careful with a more expensive knife. The Bunka is my most used from the lineup.

It's our go to.
This knife is lightweight, holds an edge, is nimble, is easy to use. My wife and I use this knife almost every day. It's attractive, but it's not just a showpiece.
We have medium size hands and the handle feels very comfortable. It is easy to use for push cutting and chopping. It's a relatively large knife, but it is not heavy. We recommend it for everyday use in most any kitchen.
