Yasuo Black 165mm Bunka Knife

Precision and Power in a Striking Damascus Finish

Crafted in Seki, Japan exclusively for Japanese Knife Company (JKC), the Yasuo Black 165mm Bunka knife combines traditional Japanese design with modern performance. Featuring a bold, angular tip, the Bunka is perfect for detailed vegetable work, slicing meat, and general-purpose kitchen tasks.

The blade is constructed from 69 layers of Damascus steel with a VG10 stainless core, offering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and hardness (61±1 HRC). The matte Damascus finish adds a refined, modern aesthetic while highlighting the fine craftsmanship.

Cold-forged for added toughness, this knife sharpens easily and holds a razor edge through extended use. The black Pakkawood handle is water-resistant, durable, and ergonomically shaped for perfect balance and control during prep.
