# Limited Edition Ko-Bunka Knife - Made In A pocket knife made for the unseen needs of chefs, it's built to handle everything your kitchen knife shouldn’t - from breaking down boxes to popping a cork at the table. The Ko-Bunka is our compact take on the original Bunka: 67 layers of VG-10 Damascus steel, built for precision prep and made for volume. ## Description Our Ko-Bunka is forged from 66 layers of VG-10 Damascus steel with a solid VG-10 core, a harder, higher-carbon alloy that holds its edge longer and earns a Rockwell score of 58+ HRC. The Damascus layers are folded and compressed by hand in Seki, Japan, resulting in a rippled surface pattern that is entirely unique to each of the 2,000 individually numbered knives. The Moabi Wood handle brings our ergonomic French handle shape to a compact format, finished with a mosaic pin rivet exclusive to this Limited-Edition. Each knife ships with a handcrafted Magnolia Wood Saya, individually fitted to this blade shape. At 5⅛", the Ko-Bunka's high blade profile creates the knuckle clearance needed for serious board work, while the drop-point tip tapers to a fine point for detail cuts: silverskin, joints, scoring fish. It's the knife that lives between a paring knife and a petty, small enough for precision and tall enough for real prep volume. The compact handle mirrors our Paring Knife format for a natural grip on smaller tasks, and the 15-degree double-bevel edge means it arrives ready to work. ## Dimensions - Material: 33 layer VG-10 Damascus (67 total layers) - Blade Angle: 15 Degrees - Blade Length: 5 1/8" - Blade Height: 1 5/8" - Blade Thickness: 2mm - Total Length: 10" - Weight: 4.2oz - Rockwell Scale: 58+ HRC ## Dimensions - Material: 33 layer VG-10 Damascus (67 total layers) - Blade Angle: 15 Degrees - Blade Length: 13.0 cm - Blade Height: 4.1 cm - Blade Thickness: 2mm - Total Length: 25.4 cm - Weight: 120 g - Rockwell Scale: 58+ HRC ## Care Hand Wash Only Lifetime Warranty ## Shipping, Warranty, and Returns - We offer easy shipping options for the US and EU.
