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.
