Rather than revisiting a previous design, we took another leap—this time creating a Copper Damascus Bunka unlike anything else in the collection.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"230\" data-end=\"751\"\u003eThe result is a blade that blends the warm, unmistakable glow of forged copper Damascus with a hand-ground S-Grind geometry. Beyond its striking appearance, the S-Grind is highly functional: the blade transitions from thick to thin, then back to thick, creating subtle hollow sections that dramatically improve food release while maintaining excellent stiffness and cutting stability. It's a grind rarely seen in handmade production, requiring significantly more time and precision than a conventional flat grind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003eAt the core is 52100 high-carbon steel, chosen for its exceptional cutting performance. It takes an incredibly keen edge, offers outstanding edge retention, and sharpens with ease. Combined with the thin cutting edge and sophisticated S-Grind geometry, this Bunka glides effortlessly through vegetables, proteins, and herbs while reducing the tendency for food to cling to the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1142\" data-end=\"1654\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eEvery knife is hand-forged and hand-finished by Nguyên in Hanoi as part of a small limited production. The Copper Damascus, hand-ground S-Grind, and final finish are all completed individually, meaning no two knives will ever look exactly alike. Variations in the Damascus flow, copper highlights, and hand-finishing are part of what makes each piece unique. The photos represent the collection, but the knife you receive will carry its own unmistakable character—a true expression of handmade craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"239\" data-end=\"368\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eKakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop.
