Love the Bunka, Sad to see it's sold out...Well, sad for me, but good news for you. Will you get more?
THX for all you do!

[primate]

Would be nice, if you're going to suggest a knife, that there is enough of them to last for longer than 24 hours. Thanks for the suggestion though! Looks nice!

I just received this Naru Bunka and it is the most amazing, hand Forged Japanese knife at any price point. And it was delivered to California 3 days after ordering it! Well done Burrfection!

[Smclaugh]

just bought myself one you did alll the hard work for me thanks

[sandhill]

Delivered in just a few days, a FANTASTIC value, I have been wanting a bunka to round out my kitchen knife collection and now I have it, 11 on a scale of 10, THANKS!!!

I am a full time bladesmith not only would I love to work with you, but I would absolutely love one of those displays especially for big shows

[H-tpuo]

That is exceptional value. Great starter for the hand forged collection and also for improving sharpening skills.

I got myself some swiss carbon knifes that came on a newspaper promotion, they were 10 dolars or something like that if I am not wrong. I kept from myself a Nakiri. We got the recomendation because the brother of who in that time was the boyfriend of my sister was a chef. They are seriously sharp and still work great after 7 years that we brougth them

Nice to see a new vid from you. I haven't seen any in a long time... and I can't tell if its Youtube being garbage... or just you haven't uploaded.

For those interested in getting into sharpening your own blades, White and Blue steels are simply amazing. A few months of daily use and then maybe 60-120 seconds of sharpening on a decent high-grit stone and you're good to go for another few months. I own many different Japan blades with a variety of core steels and I have chosen to only move forward with White and Blue steels. The Naru is a heck of a bang for your buck. Great vid.

Merry Christmas to me! Love the Tosa knives, love the Bunka, and love what you're doing for us knife nerds. Great price for the one with Azure stabilized wood handle.

[HungQDang]

knives like that Naru knife are usually $200-250, this is a very good deal

[christopherkelly]

These are Sold Out. Any idea when more will be available?

[ben]

when do you expect restock of the Naru's? Thanks!

[andreasarcullo]

I just got the knife and it's INCREDIBLE for the price I paid. Thank you!
Those who are here complaining about the price and so on clearly didn't buy it - so those comments are worthless to me.
I just went back and registered to "Notify Me" because I'd love to get one more. It will make a wonderful gift.

[mrbeckham]

it's a pity that I already bought Tsunehisa Aogami Super/SS Kurouchi Red Santoku Knife 18 cm

because I would buy what you recommend but I hope I don't lose anything :) I love carbon steel knives, how beautifully they sharpen ;) thanks to you I bought the most expensive knife in my life and I don't regret it 😊

I bought the Hatsukokoro "Kurogane" Aogami #2 Bunka from your store a couple months back and it looks really similar. It appears this Naru though has a better fit and finish than the Hatsukokoro did at close to the same price (the Naru is $10 more). I had to thin and fix many grinding gouges as well as set new bevels due to them being taller in areas all over the knife and nearly non existent in others immediately before use.. Otherwise though, now that I fixed it, it's a good knife, but for near the same price I may give this Naru a try as well!
Side note, with the Hatsukokoro, I didn't mind the issues, as I love to test my skills, and I bought it at that price level to be a "beater" knife that I don't mind taking slight abuse my wife loves to give knives... lol she doesn't treat them with the same care I do... I once found one of my Moritaka AS Gyuto's in the sink, sitting nearly submerged in a container of water surrounded by spoons and other utensils, YIKES! lol Never again I said, never again! haha

[rayb]

Absolutely fantastic video. I absolutely love buying from burrfection

[razoredgechris]

LOL i mean i get its technically under 100, but i didnt expect it to be 99, , i was thinking in the 80-85 range.. i still want one.

[roadsterj]

When will the Naru Bunka be restocked? Any other links to where they might be available? Does your supplier have a website? thanks!
