210mm Bunka — hand-forged San Mai with Pop’s ProCut core and 80CrV2 walls. This one-of-a-kind blade blends surgical edge retention with resilient support: Pop’s ProCut at the heart for razor stability, wrapped in tough 80CrV2 for impact resistance and ease of maintenance. A 44.5mm heel gives confident knuckle clearance and excellent food release for push-cutting and controlled belly work. The nashiji finish catches the eye with a subtle, stippled texture that wears gracefully with use.
The handle is a stabilized, wild-foraged, house-milled grain cut of California big leaf maple, offering a lively, figured pattern that reads both organic and refined. The profile ends with a bold purple heartwood cap at the nose for visual contrast and balanced heft. Purpose-built, beautifully finished — a functional work of art for cooks who demand performance and provenance.
