In an extraordinary collaboration between the MCX design studio and Martin Huber Knives, the SilverLine Bunka captures the essence of performance-driven design and artisanal craftsmanship.
Forged from high-performance 1.2419 steel and hardened to an impressive 65 HRC, the blade features an ultra-fine edge geometry, meticulously crafted for unparalleled cutting performance — effortlessly gliding through ingredients with surgical precision. The 5-layer (Go Mai) construction offers a perfect balance of resilience and responsiveness, while the Brute de Forge finish, matte polish, and acid-etched patina reveal a raw, dramatic beauty that speaks to its hand-forged origins.
Exceptionally refined bevels create a blade that moves through food with minimal resistance, delivering a cutting experience that is clean, efficient, and deeply satisfying. Designed for those who demand both form and function, the full-tang handle construction ensures exceptional strength and balance. The stunning combination of Poplar Burl and G10 scales — carefully contoured and hand-finished — offers an ergonomic grip and a visual elegance that elevates the experience of every use.
The SilverLine Bunka forms part of a limited series, with each batch featuring unique handle materials. This inaugural release — a batch of just five knives adorned with rare Poplar Burl — marks the beginning of an evolving collection where no two runs will ever be the same.
With its distinctive aesthetic, flawless geometry, and world-class performance, the Martin Huber SilverLine Bunka is not just a knife — it’s a masterpiece forged for those who live their craft with passion.

Product Care:
Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.
Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.
Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
