An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Bunka is your small/medium sized prep solution. If you prefer a slightly shorter blade length but still need to prep veggies and smaller cuts of meat, this is your stop. The angled "K-Tip" allows for finer tip work and can be used to sweep ingredients across the board so you don't dull your edge.

Steel Type Read

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Senzo Black VG10 Damascus Bunka 165mm

Razor-Thin Precision and Stunning Damascus Craftsmanship!

I recently bought this Bunka knife in VG10 core with Damascus clad and I couldn’t be happier. The blade is incredibly thin, making it a joy to slice through even dense vegetables with barely any effort. It’s remarkably sharp and holds its edge beautifully so far.

The Damascus pattern is absolutely gorgeous in person—it really makes this knife stand out in my kitchen. It also feels very comfortable and surprisingly light in the hand, which makes longer prep sessions easy and fatigue-free.

For my use, which is mainly chopping vegetables and not needing long slicing strokes, the size is just perfect. It offers great control and precision for fine cuts.

Overall, I’d highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a beautiful, lightweight, and razor-sharp Bunka that truly delivers on quality and aesthetics.

Marvellous

your knives are superb but transport and customs fees make them difficult to access.

Senzo Black VG10 Damascus Bunka 165mm

Service, communications from Chefs is 5 star.
Only reason I gave the knife 4 star is that it was not as expected from web views.
Great knife, though.
Will buy again.

Great service and knife

The delivery was prompt and the knife looks amazing. It’s also great to use but find the Damascus finish seems to create some resistance when cutting. No fault of the knife probably my lack of research before hand. Definitely be buying from here again.
