135mm Bunka — a precision artful package. Hand-forged San Mai construction centers an Aogami 2 core for razor edge retention, embraced by 15N20 high carbon, high nickel cladding for strength and a striking, subtle contrast. The spine is laser-thin. 1.0 mm for nimble control and delicate slicing, while a 44 mm heel depth gives confident knuckle space for working the short boards on a line. The blade wears a nashiji finish that scatters light and softens reflections, lending a handcrafted, tactile presence to each cut.
The handle is harvested from a single tree, house-milled plum, showing cohesive grain and natural warmth across the piece. The nose is finished with a green-pigment stabilized burl accent—wild, saturated, and structurally secure—balancing aesthetics with everyday durability. Thoughtfully proportioned and built for the kitchen that demands both finesse and fatigue resistance, this Bunka is a one of a kind grab perfect for any kitchen that demands the best.
