Bunka 190mm "C" Grind Go Mai 1.2562

Another beautiful full tang blade from Tobias Hangler. This time in the form a 190mm Bunka. Featuring a “C” grind for improve cutting performance and food release. Tobias’s knives are all forged with a performance first perspective. With a degree in metallurgy each knife features best in class heat treatment, geometry and fit and finish. Just ask Benjamin Kamon and he will tell you that that the heat treatment process he uses on his knives was developed in collaboration with Tobias. Anyway, enough about the nerdy stuff.

The blade, blacked out and satin polished, looks amazing. Three layers of 1.2562 premium German tool steel are separated by a nickel shim that provides a striking contrast. Reaching back for the handle we find a very tasteful stabilised poplar burl, which has been dyed in natural blue and cream hues. The burl has a beautiful figure and is full of eyes, its stunning!

Fastened with 6 stainless pins the scales are shapes with a very ergonomic profile that feel amazing in the hand and the full tang construction gives the knife a very satisfying weight to it.

Balanced for a pinch grip the blade has a delightful edge profile, the knife is pleasure to use on the cutting board. We are sure that whoever snaps this one up will find it a joy to use for many years to come.
