Razor-Thin Precision and Stunning Damascus Craftsmanship!

I recently bought this Bunka knife in VG10 core with Damascus clad and I couldn’t be happier. The blade is incredibly thin, making it a joy to slice through even dense vegetables with barely any effort. It’s remarkably sharp and holds its edge beautifully so far.

The Damascus pattern is absolutely gorgeous in person—it really makes this knife stand out in my kitchen. It also feels very comfortable and surprisingly light in the hand, which makes longer prep sessions easy and fatigue-free.

For my use, which is mainly chopping vegetables and not needing long slicing strokes, the size is just perfect. It offers great control and precision for fine cuts.

Overall, I’d highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a beautiful, lightweight, and razor-sharp Bunka that truly delivers on quality and aesthetics.

Great service and knife

The delivery was prompt and the knife looks amazing. It’s also great to use but find the Damascus finish seems to create some resistance when cutting. No fault of the knife probably my lack of research before hand. Definitely be buying from here again.
