The Messermeister “Bunka” style Carbon Chef’s knife is designed with an aggressive stance for tip-down cutting. Its wide blade has a continuous rocker from tip to heal to produce an effortlessly smooth glide across a cutting board. The offset handle keeps the centre of gravity below the grip for optimal stability. Control surfaces milled into the blade and handle provide multiple anchor points for a variety of grips. Our high carbon steel blades surpass stainless alloys in hardness and durability, maintaining their edge for extended periods and offering easy restoration. Messermeister introduces a performance-driven design for optimized cutting ability. Featuring an extra-wide double bevel with a 15º edge, our intricate blade grind creates a ‘crowned’ spine and a reinforced tip, delivering razor-like performance without sacrificing strength. The ceramic stonewash finish enhances stain resistance and provides a unique look. With a high handle position, a ramped bolster, and integrated control surfaces, our knives ensure maximum comfort and guide your hand to the perfect grip. Crafted from tough Spanish hardwood shavings stabilized with natural resins, the handles combine durability with a warm feel.
