The Bunka SG2 is made at the Suncraft forge in Japan. The blade is made of powder steel with very high hardness. The knife impresses with its perfect execution and thin profile, which is why we recommend it to all professional chefs and lovers of sharpness.
The SG2 Bunka Matte 200mm is an upgrade (slightly smaller) to the SG2 Bunka Matte 165mm.
The blade is 20 cm long, so the Bunka SG2 is an extremely comfortable and friendly knife for home use as well. The knife is originally designed for use in home kitchens, but we have no doubt that professional chefs who want a medium-length, more agile and versatile knife will also enjoy wielding it. The thin profile of the blade (1.8 mm) and hard powder Japanese steel ensure a winning combination of smooth and long-lasting sharpness, accurate and precise cutting, and comfortable and fast work.
At the Suncraft forge, the knife was assembled from San Mai construction in SG2 powder steel, one of the finest stainless steels. The HRC of the knife is 62-63, which means it will hold its sharpness for a long time, yet the knife is very easy to resharpen and maintain.
SG2 is powder steel from Takefu Steelworks. Some also call it Super Gold steel. It has a high carbon and chromium content and is stainless. The composition of the steel allows the forging of super thin knives with a hardness of up to approx. 64 HRC. Steel content: Carbon (C) 1.25 – 1.45% (C), Chromium (Cr) 14.00 – 16.00%, Molybdenum (Mo) 2.30 – 3.30%, Vanadium (V) 1 .80 – 2.20%
The choice of the handle for the new knife followed the same logic as the steel of the blade – universal and easy to maintain. The beautiful, dark brown, octagonal pakka wood handle fits perfectly in the palm, regardless of whether it is held by the left or right hand. Pakka wood is made from a combination of laminated wood and epoxy resin, it is durable and does not get dirty easily.
The knife is characterized by a sophisticated design, superb sharpness, super hard steel, wide blade profile. The knife will surely become one of your favorites.
