MIYABI Birchwood 5000 MCDB - 6.5" Bunka Knife

Behind every Japanese MIYABI knife is a century-old artisan tradition. With the MIYABI Birchwood Bunka knife, you will experience a perfect blend of beauty and sharpness designed for versatile kitchen tasks. Featuring its distinctive K-tip (reverse tanto) blade profile, this knife excels at precision slicing, dicing, and chopping of vegetables, fish, and meat.

The blade, about 180mm (7 inches) long, is forged from premium SG2 (Micro Carbide MC63) powder steel, notable for outstanding hardness (approx. 62-63 HRC), superb edge retention, and durability. It is clad in 100 layers of stainless steel with a striking Damascus pattern, adding both strength and aesthetic appeal. The blade is hand-honed using the traditional Honbazuke method to a razor-sharp Katana edge for exceptional cutting performance.

The ergonomic D-shaped handle is crafted from high-quality Karelian (Masur) Birchwood, prized for its beautiful rippled grain and comfortable feel in hand. A mosaic pin and decorative stainless steel bolster complete the handle, lending both style and balance to the knife.

Proudly handcrafted in Seki, Japan, the Miyabi Birchwood Bunka combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern German engineering expertise from Solingen.
