240mm Combination Chef/Bunka All-Purpose Knife
This unique knife was a custom order by a professional chef with large hands. He had a vision in mind for his knife and it was created with his own drawings for both the handle and blade. It is shown here as an example of custom consignments
The knife was made with our "VillageForge" pattern. This pattern is a unique combination of point-hammer marks blending half-way down the blade to a series of beautiful damascus patterning with a matte finish. The effect, in bright lighting, is not unlike that of a shimmering piece of jewelry.
The 240mm blade was a custom design and was hand-forged for us in Japan by a very talented traditional bladesmith to our client's own specifications.
The handle was also custom designed along with handle material and custom pins.
