Forged Japanese Bunka

We have a batch of Japanese Bunkas arriving in early May 2026 The Blade The Traditional Kurouchi Finish Our blades are had forged in Japan from Aogami #2 Japanese High Carbon Steel to a Rockwell rating of 62. They are finished with a black Kurouchi technique, known as the “blacksmith’s finish.” These blades are forged in Saga Prefecture, Japan. During the forging process, the blade is exposed to intense heat and flames, causing the surface to oxidize and develop a distinctive black scaly residue. This not only gives the blade its rustic charm but also highlights the traditional Japanese craftsmanship that goes into every knife The Handle What really makes this knife special is the handle. Made right here in-house by us, it’s crafted from recycled fish boxes (waste plastic) collected through our Scottish Harbour collection program. The boxes are collected, washed, shredded, and moulded. Each handle has a unique marbling effect, making your knife a one off. The handle is available in Navy Blue | Green | Orange | Yellow Why Choose This Knife. Eco-Friendly Handles: Each knife handle has a one-of-a-kind marbling effect, ensuring no two knives are alike.
