Literally translated as “ship going,” the Funayuki is a small, extremely versatile chef’s knife pattern that has traditionally been popular with fishermen. It excels at chopping, draw cutting, and many other general kitchen tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most refined expression of this pattern is the Itamae™ Series Funayuki. Literally meaning “in front of the cutting board,” Itamae (pronounced ee-tah-my) is an extremely prestigious title reserved for highly skilled sushi chefs. Knives in this tier of the collection are expertly crafted from laminated steel consisting of an Aogami Super Blue core clad between layers of SUS410 stainless steel. This classic three-layer construction allows the outer layers to protect and support the ultra-hard carbon-steel center layer that forms the blade’s edge. Ground exceptionally thin for unparalleled cutting performance, the blades of the Itamae Series are paired with traditional wa-style (octagonal) handles made from stunning burl G-10 and highlighted with black G-10 ferrules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wakiita™ Series Funayuki knife represents the second tier of the collection. Literally translated as “near the cutting board,” Wakiita (pronounced wah-kee-ee-tah) is a term used to refer to senior apprentices skilled enough to assist high-ranking chefs. The Wakiita Series captures the spirit of the journeyman chef by expressing the Funayuki design with a blade precision ground from CTS® BD1N—a high-carbon, nitrogen-enriched stainless steel that provides a superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. It is paired with a traditional wa-style (octagonal) handle painstakingly crafted from solid black G-10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Minarai™ Series Funayuki knife represents the third tier of the Murray Carter collection. Meaning “to look and learn,” Minarai (pronounced mee-nah-rye) is a quintessentially Japanese way of describing the role of an apprentice. In that spirit, Minarai Series knives showcase an economical format perfectly suited to the needs and budgets of aspiring chefs. The ultra-thin blades of these knives are expertly crafted from solid CTS BD1N and mated with injection-molded polypropylene handles. The handles are molded directly onto the blade tangs and feature the traditional wa-style octagonal configuration. Durable and lightweight, they also give the knives of the Minarai Series an exceptionally lively balance in the hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"techspecs\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"variant-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tech-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.03in 280mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosed Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e in mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e .066in 1.7mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip Carry Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.41in 163mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.86in 149mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e G-10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLock Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e CTS® BD1N\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.6oz 74g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClip Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrind:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-Flat\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NC Blade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51517759193257,"sku":"gnz1794049549546","price":63.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/3171\/0889\/files\/IMG_4270_8c87f38e-3f1b-44fb-b33a-8b8137697b39.jpg?v=1794049561","url":"https:\/\/fairtradewearstore.shop\/products\/discontinued-spyderco-murray-carter-funayuki-black-g-10-handle-and-cts-bd1n-plain-edge-k16gp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
