Description
The RÈN Byakko 白虎 Bunka 170mm combines agility, sharpness, and bold character in a compact, versatile profile. Forged from durable SLD steel with a dramatic Kurozome Damascus finish, it delivers excellent edge retention and precise cutting performance for everyday kitchen tasks.
SLD steel offers excellent wear resistance and edge retention with easier maintenance compared to traditional carbon steels. The core is wrapped in stainless Damascus cladding that enhances food release, protects the cutting edge, and adds a refined, layered appearance to the blade.
Inspired by the legendary White Tiger, the Bunka’s distinctive angled tip offers enhanced control for detailed prep work, while the dark layered Damascus pattern gives the blade a fierce and refined presence.
SLD steel is a high-performance, Japanese “semi-stainless” tool steel developed by Hitachi Metals, often used in high-end kitchen knives and cutting tools for its superior edge retention and durability. With a hardness of 60–62 HRC, it acts as an upgraded D2 steel, offering excellent wear resistance while being easier to sharpen than many fully stainless steels.
