The Nigara Hamono STRIX series is made in Japan from top tier stainless steel called powdered steel — engineered for precision, durability, and razor-sharp edges. With a hardness around 64 HRC, these blades deliver top-tier cutting performance with a satisfying balance and clean, refined grind.
This one’s a 165mm Bunka — compact, nimble, and made for control. Perfect for detail work, fast prep, and slicing through everything from herbs to proteins.
We’ve paired it with a custom handle assembled right here at Kakushin’s workshop: warm olive wood up front, flowing into a translucent epoxy tip that looks like a reef suspended in glass. Subtle, oceanic, and truly one of a kind.
Bunkas are known for their versatility — the pointed K-tip gives you the precision of a petty, while the wider blade makes quick work of your everyday chopping. Great in tight spaces and perfect for anyone who wants the performance of a chef knife in a slightly smaller package.
