The Spyderco Murray Carter Itamae Funayuki Chef Knife (K16GPBNBK) is a premium, Japanese-style kitchen knife crafted for serious culinary performance. Designed in collaboration with renowned bladesmith Murray Carter, the Itamae series represents a step up in materials and refinement—delivering exceptional cutting precision, edge retention, and traditional craftsmanship.
At the core is a 6.5-inch satin-finished blade made from Aogami Super Blue (Super Blue) carbon steel, clad with stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance. This high-end steel is prized for its outstanding edge retention, superior hardness, and ability to take an incredibly fine edge, making it a favorite among professional chefs and knife enthusiasts. The San Mai construction enhances durability while maintaining elite cutting performance.
The Funayuki blade profile offers versatile functionality, bridging the gap between a chef’s knife and a utility blade. It excels at slicing fish, preparing meats, and chopping vegetables with precision and control. The thin, full-flat grind ensures effortless cutting with minimal resistance, while the pointed tip allows for detailed work.
