This Funayuki knife is a practical Japanese kitchen knife originally designed for fishermen to use on board ships. It is a highly versatile blade, primarily intended for fish preparation, while also being suitable for a wide range of general kitchen tasks.
Crafted from Ginsan (Silver No. 3) stainless steel, it combines excellent sharpness with strong resistance to rust, ensuring easy maintenance and long-lasting performance.
Each knife is individually hand-forged by skilled artisans, with every step—from forging to final polishing—completed in-house.
The handle is made from natural wood and shaped into an octagonal form, providing a comfortable grip that fits naturally in the hand and allows for extended use with minimal fatigue.
