BOONLION Bunka Knife – Japan Treated

This 8.3-inch Bunka chef knife is expertly crafted from 3-layer composite steel with a Hitachi ZDP-189 powder steel core. One of the hardest and highest-performing knife steels available. Known for its exceptional hardness (often reaching 65–67 HRC), ZDP-189 delivers outstanding edge retention, allowing the blade to stay razor sharp far longer than most traditional stainless steels. Its fine carbide structure also supports a very acute, high-performance edge, making it ideal for precision cutting in the kitchen.

The Japanese-style handle combines striking white buffalo horn with Desert Ironwood, offering both visual elegance and a secure, comfortable grip. Packaged in a premium wooden box, it’s a perfect choice for passionate home cooks and professional chefs alike. With its razor-sharp edge, the knife provides precise, effortless slicing of meat and vegetables, while its durable construction minimizes the need for frequent sharpening. This Bunka knife receives its vacuum heat treatment and deep-freeze processing in Japan by Nippon Shoryu Metals, a subsidiary of Hitachi Metals. This ensures the steel reaches its optimal hardness, toughness, and long-lasting edge performance.
