Specifications

The Miyazaki ATS-34 damascus bunka is an all-purpose kitchen knife handforged in Nagasaki by Haruki Miyazaki. The bunka's pointed tip and flat profile make it a good fit for most everyday prep work. The core steel is ATS-34, a stainless steel from Hitachi hardened to ~61 HRC. It's tough, wear-resistant, and more common in hunting and outdoor knives than in the kitchen. Less prone to chipping than kitchen steels with similar hardness.

At 200mm, this bunka sits not too light and not too heavy in hand. Full stainless, so day-to-day care is straightforward — rinse, dry, done. An excellent bunka for those new to Japanese knives, or for experienced cooks curious about ATS-34.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.
