The Spyderco Murray Carter Wakiita Funayuki Chef Knife (K16GP) is a premium Japanese-style kitchen knife crafted for versatility, precision, and refined performance. Designed in collaboration with master bladesmith Murray Carter, this knife is part of Spyderco’s high-end Wakiita Series, combining traditional Japanese design with modern materials and manufacturing.
It features a 6.25-inch satin-finished blade made from CTS BD1N stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening—ideal for both professional chefs and home cooks. The blade’s full-flat grind ensures smooth, efficient slicing across a wide range of ingredients.
The Funayuki blade profile, historically used by Japanese fishermen, is highly versatile—excelling at slicing fish, preparing meats, and handling vegetables with precision and control. This makes it an outstanding all-purpose kitchen knife that bridges the gap between a chef’s knife and a utility knife.
