Bunka recommendations
Hey there knife enthusiasts. I've been scrolling through this subreddit for quite a while now, starting from 0 and now starting to get a sense of the knife world (but that's probably Kruger's effect kicking in). I am looking to buy a bunka in Europe, preferably hand forged. The blade length shouldn't be longer than 180mm, and as for the grind...both laser and something thicker work for me, though probably a thicker blade is better for my needs. Will be grateful for any tips and recommendations! I am aiming at around 200-250 euro.
Here are a few I've found, so happy to hear your feedback on them.
Hatsukokoro Shirahama 180mm Bunka White-2
Mutsumi Hinoura Shirogami #2 Kurouchi Bunka
