8.5" Bunka Knife - Mo Series (X06)

Meet the master of precision and versatility. The 7.5-inch Santoku, or "three virtues" knife, is the beloved Japanese all-rounder. It's designed to excel at slicing, dicing, and mincing, making it a favorite for fast, efficient prep and a perfect alternative to a traditional chef knife.

The Santoku Advantage

Unlike a curved Western chef knife, the Santoku's flatter profile is built for a fast, efficient "push-cutting" motion. This gives you laser-precise results, paper-thin slices of vegetables, and makes quick work of fish and proteins. It's nimble, balanced, and a true joy to use for all your daily prep.

Performance That Lasts

This blade is built on a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. This means it doesn't just get incredibly sharp—it stays sharp, holding a precision edge far longer than other knives. The core is then wrapped in 67 layers of stunning Damascus steel for added durability. A signature hand-shaped burnt oak handle, accented with a red G10 ring, provides a comfortable, balanced grip for complete control.

This is how you get those perfect, wafer-thin slices from a brisket or a Thanksgiving turkey. Stop sawing at your beautiful roast; this 10-inch carving knife is designed to glide through large cuts of meat in one single, smooth stroke, leaving a clean, professional finish every time.

Precision, Power, and Beauty

The long, narrow blade is purpose-built for slicing. At its heart is a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, vacuum heat-treated to a hard 60±2 HRC. This means it doesn't just get incredibly sharp—it stays sharp, holding that precision edge through holiday feasts and long carving jobs.

The core is then wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus steel, creating a stunning blade that's as beautiful as it is functional. A hand-shaped burnt oak handle provides a balanced, comfortable grip, giving you complete control over every slice.

If the Santoku and the Chef Knife had a rebel child, it would be the Bunka. Recognizable by its "K-Tip" (Kiritsuke/Reverse Tanto tip), this blade is the ultimate fusion of style and aggression. It is designed for chefs who want the flat cutting profile of a Nakiri but need a sharp tip for detailed work.

Precision Meets Power

The flat edge is perfect for "push-cutting" vegetables, ensuring you get clean cuts all the way through to the board. The acute "K-Tip" allows you to pierce delicate skins or score meat with surgical precision. Built on a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core and wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus steel, this blade stays sharp through the most demanding prep sessions.

Signature Comfort and Control

A blade this sharp needs a handle that keeps you in control. The MO series handle is crafted from deep, burnt oak, hand-shaped for a comfortable, secure grip. An elegant red G10 accent ring completes the look, making this perhaps the most visually striking knife in our collection.

The Daily Go-Between

Perfect for slicing sandwich meats, cutting citrus for cocktails, or breaking down smaller vegetables like shallots and green beans. The blade is built on a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, wrapped in 67 layers of stunning Damascus steel.

This is the "Cai Dao" (Chinese Chef Knife), refined for the modern kitchen. Unlike a meat cleaver, this blade is thin, sharp, and designed for precision vegetable work. It allows you to chop, slice, and mince with incredible speed, then use the wide blade to scoop up your prep and drop it straight into the pan.

The Ultimate Prep Station Tool

The tall, flat blade profile is perfect for guiding your knuckles safely while you chop. Constructed with a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core and 67 layers of Damascus cladding, this blade offers edge retention that standard cleavers can only dream of. Note: This is a precision slicing tool, not a bone crusher. Please keep it away from frozen foods and bones!

When finesse isn't enough, you need force. The MO Series Bone Chopper is the muscle of the family. While the rest of the series is designed for laser-sharp slicing, this tank is built to smash through chicken carcasses, pork ribs, and thick-skinned pumpkins without batting an eyelid.

Built for Impact

Unlike the rest of the MO series, this blade is crafted from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel. We chose this steel specifically for the chopper because it is tougher and more impact-resistant than the harder Damascus steel found on our slicing knives. This means it can absorb the shock of hitting bone without chipping.
