Looking for a Hado Bunka B1 Damascus, preferably in EU, but if you have one outside EU let me know and we will figure it out

Deleted this comment. Was going to link to a vendor that has a version available but not sure if that's allowed here.

Not in EU, but they ship worldwide:

Don’t worry, unless you will keep linking the same shop over and over, it is perfectly fine.

Ok cool thanks. Someone else already linked it anyways.

Thanks 🙌🏻 But are looking for the 180mm version... If from a dealer, preferably a EU based one 😅

This was mentioned but strata in the US has them as well. I don’t think this series is sold besides the two stores that have been mentioned…

Would like to revive this thread: am also looking for a Hado sumi B1 damascus 180mm Bunka (new or used).
I've checked the usual sites recommended on this forum and have come up empty.
Any other recommendations/resources would be much appreciated! 🙏

You just missed drops on modern cooking strata and miura knives.
I recently got the bunka nakiri and 240 in my collection and must say they are worth seeking out so good luck friend stay patient check the websites everyday like I did

You will need to wait a few months even maybe more checking the usual websites everyday. Check every morning and every night. Add all the main retailers to your favourites on you phone browser and check everyday eventually you’ll get lucky. That’s how I recently got my bunka from Miura. Also keep eyes peeled to the knife findings forum. If I see anything I’ll DM you right away

Little pricey but here it is (again sorry no EU)

Anyone have opinions about their cherry bark handles? Not my personal aesthetic but easy enough to swap if necessary

Sometimes thecooksedge has a 15% off coupon that shows when you open the homepage. It might be back after their Nakagawa sale is over.
