{"product_id":"xinzuo-uliassi-bunka-knife-10-inch","title":"10\" Bunka Knife - Uliassi Series (X03)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when you've got a pile of Sunday prep ahead and want one blade that can rock-chop through a mountain of shallots and then tip-work a capsicum without switching knives. The 10-inch Bunka profile gives you a long, flat belly for push cuts and a sharp reverse-tanto tip that digs into corners a standard chef knife simply can't. It's bigger than your everyday prep knife and that's exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Bunka Profile Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Bunka has a mostly flat edge with a tip that angles back sharply from the spine, like a reverse tanto. That angled tip isn't decorative. It lets you score and fine-cut at the tip with the same blade you were just using to push-cut a full head of cabbage. The 10-inch length adds reach for longer draw cuts across large proteins, so you're not repositioning your hand mid-stroke on a beef brisket or a whole salmon fillet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e73-Layer Damascus, Powder Steel Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62 HRC. Powder metallurgy means the steel structure is finer and more uniform than forged high-carbon, which lets it take a sharper edge and \u003cem\u003ehold\u003c\/em\u003e it through a long session. Wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus cladding for corrosion resistance and a flowing pattern that runs the full length of the blade. The rosewood handle sits comfortably in a pinch grip through hours of prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-inch Bunka (reverse-tanto tip, flat belly)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood, hidden tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Push-cut vegetable prep, tip-work on capsicums and herbs, long draw cuts across large fillets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uliassi Series (X03)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X03-10QF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Uliassi Series 7.5\" Santoku (X03-RS) for faster everyday push-cutting, and the 10\" Carving Knife (X03-QR) when the prep is done and it's time to slice roasts or hams at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44137522266163,"sku":"X03-10QF","price":379.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/x03-chef-10-1.jpg?v=1782213565","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/xinzuo-uliassi-bunka-knife-10-inch","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
