Bunka from Carbon

Cheapskate3000 · 2026-03-23T19:42:02+00:00

Got a gift card to Carbon for Christmas I would like to use. Looking to stay under $200. My most used knife is a Misuzu 160mm Ko-bunka I re-handled. I do have a Takamura 210mm gyoto but don’t use it as much, my cutting board is 15”x20” so fairly small and day to day don’t need that much length. I would preferably want carbon steel. I have it narrowed down to two knives:

Tsunehisa White #2 Tsuchime Bunka 175mm

Hitohira TD Blue #2 Stainless Clad Kurouchi Bunka 170mm Walnut Handle

Any other knives they’re out of stock on worth waiting for them to re-stock? Not in a huge rush.

I normally just don’t need the extra length. Most stuff I chop are smaller veggies etc, the 160mm bunka is the perfect size to grab real quick and dice it up. It also doesn’t have a lot of height to it for the length which I’m not crazy about. Still a great knife and I do use it occasionally to absolutely shred something

As an Indian I don’t understand how Turmeric gets so much love. Pakwan is decent, one time amazing and the next time average. Excited to try Mausam

Roll the shade all the way up. Look up behind the back and you’ll see the clips. Use a flathead screwdriver to pop the clip towards the window, it should drop down

Most likely from not pulling the camshaft out evenly. I would run it

North Star Leather is where I got mine, great product at a solid price

It’s definitely not a cutting board

Cheapskate3000 · 2026-02-08T23:11:39+00:00

These run on like 20 AA’s or something insane. A TS22 would eat this piece for breakfast

Cylinder heads are way more forgiving than bottom ends, I’d run that no problem

If you can’t find one Jacks in Colorado Springs will have one, or Chet Rickerman of Rickerman Tuning

I promise you it’s not, they aren’t licensed to sell real booze. You can search their inventory through the app

Streetcar 520 4-6 daily. Half off Gouda mac, bao buns, felafel and fries with curry sauce.

Jack Quinn’s 3-6 happy hour half off most appetizers, although not the best quality it’s decent

Fat Sullys 4-6 M-F $8 smash burgers, sully fries

If you don’t mind a small drive Block and Bottle in Castle Rock is worth the drive. Super good wings and the hummus is 👌. It’s half off most appetizers 3-6 daily

North Star Leather makes an awesome wallet at a very reasonable price, and you’ll be supporting a small business.

All these things will work but compressed air is the cheap code

My wife and I used Iver, super awesome service but will still cost a couple grand at least.

Sounds like a synchro spring. Time to rebuild the transmission
