7½” Bunka Bocho - BD1N / Black G-10
7½” Bunka Bocho — An all-purpose knife suitable for preparing meat, vegetables, and fish, the Bunka Bocho literally means “cultural knife,” because of its role in making traditional Japanese cuisine in the home. Closely related to the Santoku (“three virtues”) knife, the Bunka Bocho has a more acute and utilitarian point.
Nothing magnifies the skills of a chef more than extraordinary tools. And when it comes to kitchen knives, none are more extraordinary than those crafted by master bladesmith Murray Carter.
Through an unprecedented collaboration, Spyderco has faithfully translated the meticulous craftsmanship of Carter’s exquisite handmade patterns to a breathtaking series of production knives known as the Murray Carter Collection. Manufactured in Japan to Spyderco’s exacting quality standards, this formidable family of knives showcases Carter’s highly refined expressions of five traditional Japanese kitchen knife patterns and will be available in three different tiers. Forged by tradition and built by Spyderco, the Murray Carter Collection is your key to the ultimate cooking experience.
Wakiita Series –
Wakiita literally means “near the cutting board” and is a term used to refer to senior apprentices skilled enough to assist high-ranking chefs. Equivalent to sous chefs or journeyman chefs in Western kitchens, they are accomplished culinary professionals well on their way to becoming expert chefs. As the second tier of Spyderco’s Murray Carter Collection, the Wakiita Series captures the spirit of the journeyman chef by expressing Carter’s highly refined designs with solid stainless steel blades. The blades of Wakiita Series knives are precision ground from Carpenter Technology’s CTS BD1N—a high-carbon, nitrogen-enriched stainless steel that provides a superior balance of hardness, edge holding, and corrosion resistance. Like all knives in the Murray Carter Collection, they are ground exceptionally thin and straight for superior cutting performance and proudly feature the signature “Carter Elbow”—a distinctive taper from the spine to the point that reinforces the blade’s tip. In classic style, the knives of the Wakiita Series showcase traditional “wa-style” (octagonal) handles. Painstakingly crafted from solid black G-10, a durable fiberglass and epoxy laminate, the polished handles ensure both comfort and precise control. A remarkable fusion of time-tested traditional designs and state-of-the-art modern materials, the Wakiita Series accurately translates Murray Carter’s prized custom designs into high-performance cutlery that is sure to please even the most discriminating cooking enthusiasts.
