Ian Rogers Koa Bunka 190mm

Exquisitely crafted by damascus artist and bladesmith Ian Rogers, this pre-owned chef knife is available in pristine, like-new condition after receiving a full refinish byIan himself from tip to handle. The bunka-style blade in gorgeous, flowing, house-made carbon damascus steel, offers a very thin, sharp edge with a relatively flat profile and extremely fine, pointed tip, making it an effective and efficient vegetable chopper as well as a nicely honed slicing tool with the low tip nicely positioned for precise slicing and detail carving. Mid-high primary bevels are wonderfully convex, and the edge is shaped by Ian to require only the thinnest secondary bevel for top performance. At 190mm / 7.5″ long by 45mm tall at the heel, balancing just at the blade’s rounded choil, the knife can tackle every job in kitchens large or small. For comfort, control, and a beautiful, upscale look, Ian pairs presentation-grade Hawaiian Koa with polished brass in a superbly shaped shield-style wa handle.
