180mm Whirlpool Damascus Pattern Bunka

From our 'Charybdis' whirlpool damascus collection: the 180mm bunka chef knife!  

The perfect gift for any kitchen and any cook. Perfect for meat, vegetables and an all-around go-to knife.

Part of our 'Charybdis' design cutlery line, designed by Salter Fine Cutlery and made exclusively for us, this knife is simply stunning to look at and stunning to use. We know. We use one daily in our own home.

Beautiful, unique, and of the highest quality, this knife is functional art meant to be used and passed to future generations.

Hand-forged exclusively for Salter Fine Cutlery in Japan, the blade is made from a very high quality Japanese stainless powder metal die steel, called R2.

Every knife has been forged from a solid bar of steel. There are no welded sections. 

In addition, the custom pattern containing many small whirlpool shapes, was created in Japan to our own Salter Fine Cutlery proprietary design. Every small whirlpool shape was created individually by his hand!

The blade is signed in kanji by the blademaker.

Our custom handle was created on the Big Island of Hawaii. Completely handcrafted, it features exotic and rare super curly Hawaiian koa wood.

Multiple stainless steel and Mozambique ebony (aka African blackwood) accents compliment the beauty of the koa wood.

The knife is offered as knife only.
