Tall, strong, and visually striking, this one-of-a-kind bunka chef's knife forged by Joshua Prince offers versatile geometry and cutting power for everything from fine slices and detail work with its thin, razor-sharp edge and pointed tip, to the biggest cuts making use of its 70mm heel and 11.7 oz weight. Crafted from a homemade steel formula employing layers of wrought iron and pure nickel over a core of 80crv2 carbon steel, the knife balances beautifully just at the front of the integral bolster. With heirloom fit-up, the rustically forged bolster meets an exceedingly comfortable, hand-filling handle of dark ironwood that shows off gorgeous grain of deep reds, oranges, and browns.
