Description
BUNKA – TRADITIONAL YET SPECIAL...
Meet the bunka damascus knife – the perfect mix of tradition and function! With its wide, slightly curved blade, this Japanese-style knife is great for slicing, chopping and mincing vegetables, meat and fish. The sharp blade lets you make precise cuts, and the ergonomic handle sits really well in the hand. The bunka knife is not only a real eye-catcher in your kitchen, it is also super versatile and easy to handle. Whether you are making something quick or planning a special dinner – with the bunka knife you can whip up delicious dishes in no time.
A MODERN STEEL CORE MEETS DAMASCUS STEEL
Our damascus blades with a steel core and 66 layers of damascus steel made of martensitic stainless steel and 316L stainless steel are the perfect basis for every culinary challenge. The special forging technique used to create our modern 67-layer composite steel, together with vacuum heat treatment, provides an incomparable hardness of 60 ± 2 HRC Rockwell. The hard steel core delivers first-class sharpness and long-lasting cutting performance, so the blade stays sharp for a long time. Our modern production even makes your damascus knife more resistant to rust, which is not normally the case with damascus knives !
The unique damascus grain gives your damascus knife an exclusive look and makes it an eye-catcher in any kitchen. With this damascus steel bunka you are perfectly equipped.
BUFFALO HORN AND SUSTAINABLE OLIVE WOOD
Sustainability plays a central role, especially when it comes to wood. Olive wood is particularly environmentally friendly, as it is usually only harvested once the tree no longer produces olives. Although olive trees grow slowly, they are extremely robust and harder than many other woods. With the right care, such as applying a special wood oil, you can make sure the material lasts a lifetime.
It isn't just the sustainable olive wood that makes our bunka stand out, but also its strikingly minimalist design. Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the knife sits perfectly in the hand and offers excellent comfort and a secure grip.

Core steel and damascus
Why are our knives so sharp?
Our knives are made of high-quality damascus steel with a core of VG10 or a comparable premium steel, depending on the model. The core steel provides extreme hardness and excellent edge retention, while the outer damascus steel stabilises the blade and gives it an unmistakable look. The result is a perfect combination of robustness, durability and an exceptionally sharp edge – ideal for precise, effortless work in the kitchen.
The upgrade for your kitchen
A direct comparison shows it: where standard stainless steel reaches its limits, a genuine damascus knife is only getting started. The combination of a hard core steel and flexible outer layers gives our knives a sharpness and edge retention that leave ordinary kitchen knives far behind.
Our promise
30-day money-back guarantee
Because we stand 100% behind the quality of our products. Test your knife in your own kitchen – if it isn't right for you, you get your money back.

Any questions left?
The most frequently asked questions about our damascus knives. Something missing? Write to us – we reply personally.
Get in touchAre these really genuine damascus knives?
Yes. Our knives are made of multi-layer damascus steel with a high hardness (depending on the model, e.g. 60–64 HRC) and a genuine layered structure, which ensures lasting sharpness, stability and a beautiful grain. Our quality is checked before dispatch.
Why are your knives not as expensive as some luxury damascus knives?
We rely on optimised manufacturing processes and efficient production chains to keep costs down, without compromising on materials or finish. This lets us offer you excellent value for money. It matters to us that premium quality becomes accessible – not just for a few people with a huge budget.
What about the warranty and returns?
- We offer a 5-year warranty on all damascus knives ➔ More info.
- On top of that, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
How do I care for a damascus knife properly?
- Always wash your knife by hand (no dishwasher) to avoid corrosion and damage.
- Dry it straight away.
- Use care oil regularly (we offer a suitable oil as an accessory).
- If needed: resharpen it with a suitable whetstone or a sharpening service.
If you follow these recommendations, you will enjoy your knife for a long time.
Does the knife really stay sharp for that long?
Yes, thanks to the high-quality damascus steel and the right heat treatment, our blades hold their edge for a very long time. Many customers tell us they only rarely had to resharpen them — even after intensive use.
On top of that, our warranty covers you in the event of material or manufacturing defects.
Do the knives feel good in the hand?
We use various handle materials (e.g. types of wood, epoxy resin, inlays), carefully shaped handles and an optimal weight distribution to ensure a comfortable grip and good control. Many customers confirm that the knives are well balanced and comfortable.
How long does delivery take and how much does it cost?
- We ship from Germany with DHL. Delivery within the EU costs €18.90 (Sweden and Finland €23.90) and is free from €150.
- For items in stock, delivery usually takes 3–7 working days.
- You will see the exact costs and delivery time for your country at checkout.
What if I am not satisfied?
That is exactly why we have the 30-day money-back guarantee. If you find within 30 days that the knife does not meet your expectations, you can send it back - no ifs or buts.
And our customer service will help you with any questions or problems – we want you to be delighted.
Are spare parts or accessories available?
Yes — we offer accessories such as care oils, whetstones and magnetic knife strips.
For repairs or spare parts: get in touch with us and we will check individually whether we can offer you a spare part or a repair.
Who is a damascus knife for? I am a home cook / beginner — is it worth it for me?
Definitely. A good knife makes preparing food much easier: cleaner cuts, less effort, faster work. Even as a home cook you will notice how much joy good tools bring.
And if you are more experienced — you will appreciate the quality and the difference from “ordinary” knives all the more.
