Introducing the Hanmā Custom Series, featuring the Bunka model with a 180 mm VG10 stainless steel blade, made in Japan. This collection blends the timeless performance of traditional Japanese blades with a distinctive custom wa-handle, carefully assembled in-house at Kakushin for a truly unique finish.
This particular piece is fitted with a rich blue stabilized wood handle, paired with a matching ferrule and separated by a sleek white ring, creating a clean visual contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the assembly.
The Bunka profile, recognizable by its angled tip and tall blade, is a highly versatile shape suited for a wide range of kitchen tasks — from slicing and dicing to precise vegetable work. Combined with the balanced octagonal wa-handle, it delivers both comfort and control while bringing a bold, modern aesthetic to a classic Japanese knife design.
