Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the DASHWAY 6" Bunka knife blank blade come with a handle?
A: No, this listing is for the blank blade only — no handle is included. The full-tang design is ready for you to attach your own custom handle material, making it ideal for DIY knife making projects and personalized builds.
Q: What type of steel is used in the DASHWAY Bunka Kiritsuke blank blade?
A: The blade is constructed from 3-layer composite steel featuring a 10Cr15CoMov high-carbon steel core with a hardness of 60±2 HRC. The outer layers are stainless steel, providing excellent rust resistance while the hard core maintains a razor-sharp edge at 15° per side.
Q: What is the difference between a Bunka and a Kiritsuke knife blade profile?
A: Both are Japanese-style blades with a distinctive angled, reverse-tanto tip. The Bunka typically has a slightly taller blade and more pronounced curve, while the Kiritsuke is traditionally longer and flatter. This 6-inch blank combines both characteristics, making it a versatile all-purpose kitchen blade for slicing, chopping, and detail work.
Q: Is this blade suitable for beginner knife makers?
A: Yes! The pre-ground, polished blank blade is an excellent starting point for both beginners and experienced knife makers. The full-tang design is straightforward to fit with custom handles, and the pre-sharpened edge means you spend more time on the handle and less time on edge finishing.
