Matsubara Wavy Face Blue #2 Bunka 175mm custom is made by blacksmith Katsuto Tanaka who works from his famed shop in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Aogami 2 carbon steel is undoubtedly one of the most popular steels used to manufacture kitchen knives. It is noted for its outstanding edge life and overall toughness. The core steel is covered san-mai style with soft stainless steel which receives a lovely finish. The hammer marks on these blades are real, not stamped with a press. The cladding adds strength, reduces mass, and makes maintenance much easier.
Blade height is generous, especially for a bunka of this length. This is a robust blade in size and weight which will favor users looking for a knife that feels solid and stiff in hand and on the board.
Please note that measurements are approximate as these knives are handmade.Brand: Matsubara
