Hand Forged Bunka

Extremely fast service, great and friendly communication and an outstanding knife. Quality is absolutely unbelievable, easily the best knife I have ever owned and likely ever will!
I got the MK-III, cuts like a dream and a good weight to it, dinner prep is now more fun than eating!
Not to mention, the thing is beautiful. Will be showing it off to all my guests.
Highly recommend to anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience!

Incredible experience working with HandF4B from start to finish. I purchased a piece posted on the Instagram and placed a bespoke order. Communication throughout the bespoke process was excellent, and he really went out of his way to make sure I was happy with every decision. The finished knives are genuinely one-of-a-kind pieces of functional art, especially the handle work and forged character. My custom has a very heavily forged geometry, and I was impressed by how comfortable and controlled it still feels in hand. Both have been a lot of fun to use.

These are a completely different world from the more traditional Japanese craft blades I’m used to. They have a much more raw, individual, hand-forged character, which is exactly what makes them special. Really enjoyed the creativity, craftsmanship, and customer service throughout the whole process.

What can you say...
Since I first came across HandFab, all I've seen is a constant stream of unbelievable creations followed by beaming reviews. Once I finally purchased one for myself, it immediately became clear that the reviews were absolutely spot on.

I purchased a MK-1 from the new Apex Series. As soon as the initial 10 early access pieces were made available I knew I had to grab one. It is an amazing bit of kit! 🙌 Right out of the gate the unboxing experience is amazing, overall quality is fantastic and from early uses, the performance feels excellent. I had high hopes going in, and it has somehow exceeded expectations.

This is a prime example of what pure talent and passion can create. If you've spent time thinking about making a purchase from HandFab, stop thinking and DO! You'll find yourself quite pleased.

This is a unique knife. I have a lot of different kitchen knives but this feels completely different in my hand, it just feels right. It feels massive in a good way but not to heavy. Its cuts very good through everything and its really sharp. Its also very good looking and you get a knife that everyone will be jealous at!

As soon as I saw the Bru 9’ Chefs Knife I knew I wanted itc the finish on the handle and the blade is absolutely incredible. The weight is so perfect, razor sharp so performs so well. I love how the box turns up and the whole unboxing experience really adds to the value and experience of the knife! It’s a real top quality product and you can tell how much Brad cares and is proud of his work

Phenomenal work. Received my custom Bunka today, what a piece of art! Highly recommend this guy to anyone wanting to invest in a good tool for all your kitchen needs. Thank you so much.

I just used the knife so what can i say about the quality and design of this masterpiece, it cuts through anything as if it was cutting through warm butter honestly think it could cut through armour plated steel whilst looking beautiful at the same time, the texture and colours make it look as if it was formed in nature a beautiful combination, sharp and beautiful im amazed by the knife and what HandFab could make i left the design and shape completely up to him just we discussed options for steel and colour of handle and its usage, what he came up with im beyond amazed i cant thank HandFab enough....if you want a perfect knife he is your guy

As a collector of hand made kitchen knives, it can be daunting sometimes to spend money on "unknown" makers , in a hobby that is very hype driven. I found out about HandFab through a fellow knife , liked what I saw and bought one for myself. I have to say, I have no regrets.
First, customer service is outstanding.... Prompt email, great to work with .... Couldn't ask for more ! As for the knife itself..... Yeah booiiissss ...... It's fantastic.
Its robust where it needs to be , thin behind the edge, with a thin tip that slays everything it touches. Hard to ask for more than that. The tall heel is great for working dense produce , yet it remains a nimble slicer. I spent a few days with it in the work kitchen , and it was fantastic as a do all line knife .... I use my tools and I didn't do anything different with this one than any other knife , and it was fine. I wholeheartedly recommend HandFab..... Give em a try, you won't be disappointed !!

Recently received my knife from handfab and genuinely the best I’ve used , extremely sharp and beautifully crafted I have already recommended to friends who are in the process of getting their own knife’s

I can recommend Brad without hesitation. From the very first conversation to the finished knife, I felt well taken care of throughout the entire process. He was always attentive, took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and brought every one of my ideas to life. Communication was consistently reliable, straightforward, and it was clear that providing outstanding customer service is genuinely important to him.

The finished knife is an absolute masterpiece and an exceptional piece of craftsmanship. The quality, attention to detail, and the way Brad translated my vision into reality exceeded all of my expectations. It brings me great joy every time I pick it up.

It was immediately clear to me that this wouldn’t be my last knife from Brad, I’ve already ordered my next one. Thank you for your incredible work and for the passion you put into your craft!

In my opinion, Brad is one of the finest Master Cutlers in Europe. Design, Form and Function are unsurpassed. Heirloom Cutlery at its finest.

It goes without saying these knives are quite literally hand fab wow.

I went with a few thoughts and ideas and they have just been blown out of the water with amazement.

They cut like a dream like a hot knife through butter if you will. All I can say is compliments. The whole process was fantastic with constant check ins to make sure I’m happy with everything to sending update pics through the whole process. Even a speedy delivery. I received the knives last week but due to moving I haven’t really been cooking so tonight I made the exception and bit the bullet, boy am I glad I did. It’s like Christmas came early.

Thank you so so much and I’ll be sure to be ordering again.
