This 8-inch Bunka, hand-forged by bladesmith Akiva Meola in Berthoud, Colorado, is built for serious kitchen work. Forged from 1084 high-carbon steel and heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 62, it holds a sharp, durable edge and performs well across a wide range of prep tasks. With a generous 60mm heel height, the blade offers excellent board clearance, making it a solid all-purpose knife for any kitchen.

The handle is shaped in-house using a 3/4 hidden tang and Western-style profile. Made from curly silver maple stabilized in blue resin, it offers durability along with resistance to heat and moisture. After shaping, each handle is flame-faded by hand for a unique finish. A white Corian ferrule transitions smoothly into a mirror-polished spine and choil, both rounded for added comfort during use.

Each knife comes with a navy kydex sheath, custom-formed for secure carry and finished with polished brass grommets..

NOTE: All processes are done in house and by hand. This means there are slight variations among the blades.

NOTE: Blade may rust if left wet, this is NOT a stainless steel.
