Description: Designed by world-renowned knifemaker Murray Carter, heir to a 420-year-old Japanese bladesmithing lineage, Spyderco’s Murray Carter Collection faithfully translates Carter’s coveted handcrafted designs into affordable factory-made kitchen cutlery. Minarai translates as “to look and learn” -- a quintessentially Japanese way of describing the role of an apprentice. In that spirit, the Minarai Series expresses five of Carter’s highly refined designs in an economical format featuring solid CTS BD1N stainless steel blades and injection-molded polypropylene handles. A remarkable fusion of time-tested traditional designs and state-of-the-art modern materials.
Funayuki were originally a multi-purpose knife used on fishing boats. Today, they are a general purpose chef's knife, slightly shorter than a santoku. Several features common to funayuki are a relatively flat blade profile with just a little belly; a short, handy size. It is a great complement to a primary chef's knife and is a jack-of-all-trades in the kitchen. From chopping to slicing, like santoku, funayuki are a tremendous general purpose knife in the kitchen.
Made by Spyderco in Japan.
