Benz's 7" Big Belly Bunka with cocobolo and maple
The blade
This knife is hand-forged from one of our favorite steel combos, 26c3 spicy white high carbon core with stainless steel cladding. We love it because you get the performance of a high carbon steel with the protection of stainless steel. We laminate and forge the steel in our Healdsburg California shop.
The handle
The steel is paired with a tonal hidden tang, hexagonal handle crafted from a combo of reclaimed cocobolo and local Sonoma County curly maple.
In the kitchen
This is a general purpose chef knife that tackles many tasks with an easy rocking belly and sharp triangular tip.
