A general purpose knife that can be used for most tasks in the kitchen.
Completely hand-made in white#1 steel this funayuki has a kurouchi finish (also known as a blacksmith finish which helps protect the steel) with a soft-iron cladding. This means the knife is reactive and will produce a patina over time.
