The Bunka knife, also known as Bunka Bocho ($\text{文化包丁}$), is a Japanese kitchen knife with a unique design and exceptional utility. The name "Culture Knife" refers to its close connection with traditional Japanese cuisine. The Bunka knife likely appeared in the late 19th century, after the Meiji Restoration, when the allowance of meat consumption increased the demand for versatile knives. Some suggest its design was inspired by Western chef's knives, but elements of traditional Japanese knives, such as the Gyuto and Usuba, can also be found in it.

Slicing knives, including ham knives, likely developed in the Late Middle Ages, around the 14th century. Ham, as a preserved meat, was a significant food source in contemporary Europe, and its proper serving required specialized knives. The earliest ham knives were probably simple, hand-forged tools with a wide blade and a pointed tip.

There are several theories regarding the origin of ham knives. Some suggest they originate from Germany, where the term "Schinkenmesser" was already used in the 14th century. Others refer to the French term "couteau à jambon", dating from the 16th century. Additionally, there is the idea that ham knives developed in England, where the term "ham knife" was first recorded in the 17th century.
