Noseto Fat Bunka 180mm VG10 Damascus with Buffalo Horn & Ebony Handle

Bold Blade Profile with Precision Control

The Noseto Fat Bunka 180mm is a distinctive Japanese-style all-purpose knife designed for chefs who want the precision of a Bunka with a taller, more substantial blade profile.

Measuring 55mm in blade height and 2.5mm in thickness, the Fat Bunka offers a generous cutting surface, excellent knuckle clearance, and a solid feel in the hand while maintaining the manoeuvrability of a 180mm blade.

Its broad profile makes it particularly capable for vegetable preparation, while the defined Bunka tip provides excellent precision for detailed cutting.

Premium VG10 Damascus Steel

The blade features a premium VG10 stainless steel core clad in Damascus steel, offering an excellent balance of sharpness, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and everyday durability.

VG10 is widely used in high-quality Japanese kitchen knives for its ability to take a fine edge while remaining relatively easy to maintain.

The Damascus cladding creates a distinctive layered pattern, giving the blade a refined appearance while contributing to the overall structure of the knife.

Key advantages of VG10 Damascus steel:

• Excellent edge retention for everyday kitchen use
• Excellent corrosion and stain resistance
• Fine edge capability for precise cutting
• Reliable toughness for professional use
• Distinctive Damascus pattern with a premium appearance

Tall & Powerful Bunka Profile

The 55mm blade height gives the Fat Bunka a generous cutting surface and excellent knuckle clearance, making it comfortable for a wide range of kitchen tasks.

At 2.5mm thick, the blade has a more substantial feel than a typical thin Bunka, providing confidence and stability during everyday preparation.

Perfect for:

• Chopping and slicing vegetables
• Preparing meat and fish
• Fine chopping herbs
• Detailed precision work
• General kitchen preparation

The pointed Bunka tip provides excellent control for precise cuts, while the wide blade can also be used to transfer ingredients from the cutting board.

Buffalo Horn & Ebony Octagonal Handle

The traditional octagonal handle combines premium black ebony wood with a genuine buffalo horn ferrule, creating an elegant contrast with the Damascus blade.

The octagonal profile provides a secure and comfortable grip while allowing precise control from multiple hand positions.

Natural ebony and buffalo horn give each handle its own individual character, complementing the distinctive Damascus pattern of the blade.
