Kiritsuke Bunka Knife Blank 150MM

Compact yet commanding, this small kiritsuke blade blank brings the elegance of a traditional Japanese chef’s knife into a more agile form. At around 150mm in length, it’s designed for cooks and craftsmen who want the precision of a kiritsuke without the size of a full chef’s blade.

The blade’s Damascus steel layers ripple with character, while the hammered finish on the upper section adds both beauty and function — reducing drag and helping food release cleanly. Its straight edge and pointed tip make it ideal for fine slicing, controlled cuts, and detailed prep work where larger knives feel cumbersome.

Unlike the long, ceremonial kiritsuke often reserved for master chefs, this smaller version is approachable and versatile. It’s a blank that invites creativity: pair it with a custom handle, and you’ll have a knife that feels equally at home in a professional kitchen or a collector’s display.
