A beautiful and well balanced bunka with an intricate and unique damascus finish running the length of the blade tapering down to a stylish final layer of dark grey matte on the impressively sharp cutting edge.
The bunka is a great shape and offers versatility across a wide range of meat, fish and vegetable prep jobs and at 200mm, it's a perfect all rounder.
