Musashi Bunka Knife

The Bunka features a distinctive, diagonally cut-off tip that provides a finer point for detailed work, such as mincing herbs or precision vegetable prep. Its flatter profile also makes it highly effective for push-cutting, offering more versatility than the curved belly of a traditional Western chef's knife.

SG-2 is a high-carbon powder steel known for its exceptional hardness, typically ranging between 61-63 HRC. This allows the knife to hold a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel, though it requires careful handling and should be sharpened with whetstones to maintain its performance.

The Damascus finish is created by forging multiple layers of steel together, which results in the signature rippled aesthetic. While it is visually striking, the primary function of this layering process is to protect the high-carbon core while providing a durable, resilient blade structure.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high-carbon steel core and the natural ebony handle can be damaged by the high heat, harsh detergents, and moisture cycles of a dishwasher; we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

Yes. The blade features a double-edged grind, meaning it is symmetrical and performs equally well for both right-handed and left-handed cooks.

Weighing in at 4.48 ounces, this knife is lightweight and agile, which helps reduce hand fatigue during long prep sessions. The ergonomic ebony handle is designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip that balances well against the 7-inch blade.
