DAO VUA V3 52100 Bunka 165mm with Wa Handle

Description:

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 oxidize easily.

Dao Vua has introduced its third iteration "V3", to address concerns regarding the consistency of their final products. The V3 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 165mm, it's a versatile and comfortable size for most hands.

IMHO - Outstanding Value

Wanted a Bunka to complement other knives in the drawer but keep the investment down as it is one of many knives we have to use. Dao Vua really hit the sweet spot. Feels great in hand and certainly is sharp enough and should retain a good edge. The 52100 is a great compromise between edge retention and general performance eg not so reactive. Execution of handle and blade are just fine. It should be a workhorse. If they made a petty I'd grab one as well.

Perfect size and weight for daily use in a commercial kitchen.

Amazing experience & knife

Best Knive & even better service
I HIGHLY recommend this shop & service. Recently dived into Japanese style knives with a dao vua and elected to go with the sharpening service. When I got the knife, I was impressed with the quality of the knife for something under $100. Unfortunately, it was not as sharp as I thought it would be and let them know in the survey, especially with the sharpening service. To my surprise, the owner reached out to me and offered to correct the issue. Now, this knife is amazing

Best knife ever

Glad I bought this knife. Fantastic make and lovely to look at. J feel more confident with this knife to try better and mor complicated recipes

Highly recommend!

Got this as a gift for a friend and they love it! They've demonstrated how will it works to me and it's as sharp and high quality as it is beautiful!
