This MCX Bunka 190mm has once again been design in collaboration with Swedish Bladesmith Fredrik Spåre. The knife design takes a little inspiration from HADO Knives, but Fredrik is also a major fan of the Bunka and has imbued the knife with his own classic look and feel. We wanted to deliver something a little more subtle in its design, with clean lines and a slightly less aggressive styling on this knife.Featuring the classic MCX tapered Rokkaku Hanmaru handle, this time in ebonized oak with a birch bark spacer and a brass bolster. The knife feels nimble and light with perfect balance. A little longer than a tradition Japanese Bunka and with more distal taper the blade will make for a perfect everyday utility knife.The blade itself is forged in 1.2419 premium carbon steel, it’s hard and tough steel and will hold a very toothy and sharp edge. The profile is classic bunka, a relatively flat, subtle curve with a pointed K-tip.The blade is finished with a natural brute de forge finish at the spine and satin polished bevels, which Fredrik finishes by hand of whetstones. The complete package is a subtle and classic looking knife, which is a joy to work with.
