How Each Knife Is Crafted

Forged Carbon Steel

Every knife starts as a bar of high carbon steel, its roughly shaped then heated in a coal forge and shaped under a power hammer by hand. No CNC, no laser cutting. Each blade is forged individually.

Heat-Treated for Performance

Each blade is differentially heat-treated to bring out the best in the steel. The edge is hardened for sharpness and retention, while the spine stays softer so it flexes under pressure instead of snapping.

Handcrafted Handle

Each handle is carved from padauk and hand planed until there are no rigid edges left. Sealed with shellac and glued to the tang, so blade and wood sit as one solid piece. No two handles are the same.

Sharpened by Hand

Every blade is hand-ground to form the edge, then refined on a whetstone for a polished, clean cut. Ready to use straight out of the box.

Absolute perfection for a milestone gift!

I bought these as a set to mark a big 50th birthday milestone, adding custom engraving to make the occasion extra special. The customer service and final product exceeded my expectations—the engraving is flawless. They are clearly crafted from top-tier materials because they are being heavily put to the test and still perform brilliantly. Beautiful to look at and a joy to use.

Good all rounder

Great knife, it took some time for me to trust the smaller knives like I trusted “The one” . I’m a heavy knife user from Stainless - to carbon . Definitely committed to these knives now and working on my set .

Looks good, feels good, cuts good

This is a pretty knife, feels good in the hand, and cuts through paper like butter like you see in those videos on the internet. It’s a great knife out of the box, I’m looking forward to putting my patina on it.

Best gift ever :) delivery was quick and it made my partners day

While aesthetically very good, this knife unfortunately seems to have come out of the box fairly blunt. It has no sharp cutting edge and the best way to describe it would be that it more crushes through onion than slices it. It seems it will need to have a good sharpening before it is at the same standard as the other brand new knives in the set

Hi there
I love this knife, it is so light and nimble. It is my first bunka style and was debating between Ezekiel and Adam for some time then your July specials came about and bam, how could I resist.
Now I’m thinking what is the next one I’m going to buy

Very handy and better edge retention compared to other carbon knives in similar price range. Been using it day to day in a commercial kitchen. Only down side would be it is a bit tricky to keep it rust free.

Light, sharp and a great rustic look

These are a wonder to use, light and sharp it easily makes quick work of the usual tough skin veggies. They look amazing as well and the wooden handle is quite comfortable to hold.

New knife

It’s a beautiful knife. Only my Japanese knife is better. Not quite as sharp as I’d thought it would be. Definitely wouldn’t chop a pineapple in one swipe.

Wrong address on order

After I contacted you to change the delivery address, which you acknowledged you still managed to send it to the wrong address which meant it did not arrive in time for Christmas, very disappointing

Nice and light

Really like the knife however was disappointed it didn’t come in a nice case as advertised on instagram. It just came in a cardboard box, since it was a gift that was a bit of a bummer :) but still nice

Pretty good knife for the price

Really happy with how quick it came and the quality of it, only thing that personally could change is the weight as the knife is very light in hand and I’d much rather a heavier one

All Knives

These are fantastic knives. We have brought five and a number of others for friends and family. We chucked our other knives out and will not use anything else. Well made, stay sharp and are very well balanced. When we go away or stay with friends we take several knives with us as we hate everyone else knives. Most often our friends end up buying their own. Cant say how much I like these knives

Common Questions

Is a Bunka a good all-rounder?

yes, with a more precise tip.

Whats the tip for?

Scoring, precision cuts, piercing packaging on meat trays. Functional, not decorative.

Bunka vs Nakiri. Which one for vegetables?

Bunka does everything a Nakiri does but with a tip for detail work.

Bunka vs chef's knife. Which should I get?

Bunka if you prefer push-cuts and precision (Japanese style). Chef's knife if you like a rocking motion (Western style). Bunkas are shorter, lighter, more agile.

What's The Dark Finish On The Blade?

It's forge scale and its called a kurouchi finish in traditional knife making. A natural layer that forms when the blade is heated during heat treatment. It's not a coating, it won't chip off, and it helps reduce food sticking to the blade.

What Type Of Wood Is The Handle?

Padauk. Padauk is a strong hardwood known for its rich colour and toughness. It has a natural reddish tone that darkens beautifully over time. Because it’s dense and durable, Padauk makes a great knife handle. It holds up to everyday use, feels solid in your hand, and looks better the more you use it. It’s a mix of strength, beauty, and comfort.

How Does Your 2 Year Warranty Work?

Our 2-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes rust or damage from neglect. Claims are inspected case-by-case, and replacements are issued if the product is genuinely faulty.
