Built around a 162mm cutting edge, this blade features a classic k-tip that provides pinpoint accuracy for scoring and detailed trimming, balanced by a flat belly optimized for clean push-cuts across the cutting board. \u003cbr\u003e​The blade features a hand-forged San-Mai construction combining a high-carbon core steel clad in high-contrast carbon Damascus. Heat-treated and tempered to deliver exceptional edge retention and an ultra-thin geometry behind the bevel, it moves through produce, herbs, and boneless proteins with zero drag. The blade is hand polished on Japanese natural whetstones, and fitted with a custom octagonal wa-handle made from natural hardwood. This is offset by a dark collar and an accenting, veined turquoise composite spacer, delivering a natural balance right at the pinch grip. \u003cbr\u003e​This piece comes complete with a custom-carved wooden saya fitted precisely to the blade geometry and secured with a traditional wooden retaining pin for safe bench storage and transport. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dust Bowl Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67656349679747,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/7320\/1283\/files\/BunkaBocho_399501b.png?v=1791111493","url":"https:\/\/dustbowlknives.com\/products\/bunka-bocho-162mm-damascus-san-mai-399501b","provider":"Dust Bowl Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
