Dao Vua TALL SPECIAL 52100 Carbon Steel Bunka 180mm

DAO VUA V3 52100 Bunka 180mm with Wa Handle

Do you like a tall and thin blade? Dao Vua is pushing the limits of what is possible with mono-steel blades. The specs on this new model speak for themselves!  

Among those who explore beyond Japanese-made kitchen knives, the brand Dao Vua is often a name encountered on the internet. Originating from Hanoi, Vietnam, Dao Vua knives are impressively handcrafted by Vietnamese bladesmiths, using high-quality materials. Despite their humble and sustainable production process, these knives stand out due to their high build quality and sharpness, offered at a very affordable price point. However, they require careful maintenance, as being carbon steel with a kurouchi finish, they are reactive and must be wiped dry. 

Dao Vua has introduced its third iteration to address concerns regarding the consistency of their final products. The line now sources 52100 carbon steel from the US, ensuring the uniformity and quality of the finished product. A Bunka knife can be seen as a flatter-bellied santoku with a k-tip (reverse tanto), useful for precision cuts and push/pull cutting over rock chopping. At 180mm, it's a versatile and comfortable size for most hands.
