Copper Damascus Bunka Olive Handle

/

This handcrafted Bunka knife brings striking copper-damascus aesthetics together with compact, everyday kitchen performance. The blade features a K720 core wrapped in a layered cladding of eight copper sheets and nine steel layers, creating a warm, contrasting pattern unique to each forging. With its 11 cm cutting edge and an additional 1 cm ricasso, the blade offers precise control for both push-cuts and fine detail work.

Measuring 3 mm at the spine and 3 cm in width, the blade is ground with a double-bevel profile suited for versatile kitchen tasks. A pair of shallow fullers is carved symmetrically into both sides of the blade, helping reduce sticking and allowing vegetables to fall away cleanly during slicing.

The handle is shaped from slender, naturally patterned olive wood. Its narrow 11 cm profile provides a light, nimble feel that pairs perfectly with the Bunka’s compact geometry, making the knife an agile companion for chopping, slicing, and daily prep work.

On each side of the core, the blade is layered with copper, saw blade steel, copper, and mild steel, resulting in a total of nine layers. The copper adds visual contrast, while the steel layers support the cutting edge.

The blade is ground with a double bevel and shaped in the Kiritsuke style, suitable for precise slicing, chopping, and general kitchen work.

The handle is made from a single piece of steamed acacia. The wood is dense, stable, and resistant to moisture and wear, making it well suited for kitchen use.

Sanmai Damascus Petty / Amboyna Handle

/

This Petty knife is forged from an experimental damascus san-mai construction. The damascus cladding is made from so-called stacked C elements, processed in a mosaic-style pattern. Due to the experimental nature of this forging method, the damascus pattern is not perfectly uniform and shows minor visual imperfections. These do not affect the structural integrity or cutting performance of the blade but are the reason this knife is offered at a reduced price of 150 €. A fully uniform execution of this damascus would normally place the knife in a significantly higher price range.

The core steel is K720, hardened to approximately 60–61 HRC, providing stable edge retention and good toughness for daily kitchen use. K720 is a high-carbon tool steel with fine grain structure, well suited for thin kitchen geometries and precise cutting tasks.

The blade features a kiritsuke-style tip, the characteristic cut-off tip found in Japanese knife design, allowing controlled tip work while maintaining a straight cutting edge.

A Petty knife is designed for precise kitchen tasks where larger knives are less practical. It is commonly used for trimming meat, slicing fruit and vegetables, peeling, and detailed preparation work both on the board and in hand.

The handle is crafted from Amboyna burl, a dense and highly figured hardwood from Indonesia, shaped for balance and comfortable control.

Specifications
