Makoto Kurosaki VG-XEOS Tsuchime Bunka 240mm No Handle

Overview The Makoto Kurosaki VG-XEOS Tsuchime Bunka 240mm is a long, aggressive bunka designed for cooks who want Kurosaki-level performance in a customizable blade-only format. Makoto, older brother of Yu Kurosaki and a highly respected sharpener from Takefu Knife Village, is known for ultra-clean grinds, excellent cutting feel, and strong out-of-the-box performance. At its core is VG-XEOS, a next-generation stainless steel engineered for high hardness, long edge life, and strong corrosion resistance. Heat-treated to around 61–62 HRC, it delivers a crisp, long-lasting edge that still responds well to sharpening. A stainless cladding with a hammered tsuchime finish helps reduce sticking and gives the blade a refined, hand-forged look. This knife is supplied as a blade only (no handle), making it ideal for custom builds. Install your favorite wa handle for a personalized balance and feel, or pair it with professional sharpening so it arrives tuned for peak performance right away. On the
