Edge Knife Works Bunka MagnaCut - Black Micarta #1

MagnaCut Fixed Blade with Micarta Handles

The Bunka is a Japanese kitchen knife pattern that blends the pointed tip of a Gyuto with a taller blade profile, giving home cooks and chefs a versatile tool for chopping, slicing, and precision tip work. Edge Knife Works hand forges this version in MagnaCut steel for a kitchen knife built to last.

Blade

The 7" blade is hand forged from MagnaCut, a modern powder metallurgy steel that delivers excellent edge retention along with strong corrosion resistance - a valuable trait in a kitchen environment where the blade sees moisture and acidic foods regularly. At 0.108" thick, the blade stays thin behind the edge for clean, efficient cuts.

Handle

The handle is Micarta, a composite made from linen or canvas layers set in resin. It's dense, stable, and resistant to moisture absorption, so it holds up well to repeated washing and handling in a kitchen setting. Total weight comes in at 7.48oz, balanced for extended use at the cutting board.

Carry

As a kitchen fixed blade, the Bunka has no lock or folding mechanism - it's a single piece of construction from tip to handle. This is a knife intended for use in the kitchen rather than everyday carry, and no sheath is specified for this listing.

Made in the USA.
