    Pretty and functional

    This thing comes sharp. I didnt need any touch up work. The Olivewood handle looks better in person and the blade is nice and straight. Fit and finish seem to be top notch in this price range. Overall, im very satisfied.

    Rustic bunka that’s enjoyable to use

    This bunka has a lot of character and feels very capable once you get used to it. The profile works well for everyday prep. Great value if you like knives with personality and rustic looks.

    Nice little bunka

    Sharp and light, this knife has just enough curve to the belly and the tip is great for nimble work. A little workhorse that deserves the extra attention it requires.
