Keyaki Shiro Funayuki, Japanese Kitchen Knife

Keyaki Shiro Funayuki, Japanese Kitchen Knife
£129.00
Ex Tax: £107.50

Hand-forged by Master Blacksmith Keyaki Shiro in Japan. A very thin layer of Shirogami Steel is sandwiched between soft iron steel on both sides. After final quenching, the blade achieves an outstanding 62:64 HRC hardness and the ultra-thin, light blade cuts like a surgeon’s scalpel whilst being extremely easy to re-sharpen. The shape is similar to a small Sujihiki or slicing knife. As the name suggests, it is a multi-function knife used for the preparation of vegetables and precise cutting of meat and fish. The slim profile presents a smaller area to fatty, oily, and starchy foods where a wider blade would create a stronger vacuum and ‘stick’ more to the food. Perfect for those who may be uncomfortable using a large knife in the kitchen.


By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.
