The 8" Bunka from the Ji series is built for the cook who lives at the tip of the knife. A Japanese K-tip (reverse-tanto) point gives you a precise, square corner for detail work, while the flat heel sits down hard for push cuts and clean board contact. The blade is 67-layer Damascus folded around a 12Cr18MoV core, ground to 15 degrees per side, set in a full-tang ebony wood handle.

FAQs
A bunka is a Japanese all-rounder with a K-tip point. Its flat heel handles push cuts through vegetables and boneless proteins, while the square reverse-tanto tip gives you fine control for scoring, trimming and detail work.
A K-tip (reverse-tanto) is an angled, squared-off point instead of a curved one. It places a fine, precise tip right where your eye is, which makes detail cuts and tip-led work easier.
A 12Cr18MoV stainless core clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel. The core is vacuum heat treated to 58-62 HRC and ground to 15 degrees per side.
Yes. The cutting core is 12Cr18MoV, wrapped in 67 folded layers of Damascus steel, so the pattern runs the length of the blade.
Solid ebony wood over a full tang, so the steel runs the full length of the grip for balance and durability.
No. Hand wash and dry the blade to protect the edge and the ebony handle.
Both have flat profiles for push cuts, but a bunka adds a pointed K-tip for precision tip work, where a santoku has a rounded, sheepsfoot tip. Choose the bunka if you want detail control as well as push cutting.
