Overview
The Muneishi Aogami #2 Migaki Damascus Bunka 165mm combines a compact blade with a pointed k-tip for vegetable prep, trimming, and detailed cutting. Its polished migaki finish reveals a layered Damascus pattern, while the Blue #2 carbon-steel core suits cooks who enjoy caring for and sharpening a Japanese knife.
Choose Blade Only for a custom handle build, or Walnut & Horn Handle for the complete knife fitted with an octagonal walnut handle and horn ferrule. The blade-only option does not include a handle and must be fitted with one before kitchen use. Select your preferred option to see its price and main photo.
Common Questions
Does this bunka come with a handle?
Only the Walnut & Horn Handle option includes a fitted handle. The Blade Only option is supplied with an exposed tang for a custom build.
What is a 165mm bunka good for?
Its compact blade is useful for everyday vegetable prep and smaller ingredients. The pointed tip helps with precise cuts and trimming, making it a practical size for home kitchens and focused prep tasks.
How should I care for the blade?
Treat the entire blade, including the Damascus cladding, as reactive. Wipe it during use, hand wash after cutting, and dry it immediately. Avoid soaking and dishwashers. Patina can develop with use; moisture left on the blade can cause rust.
