Murata Boho Blue #1 Kurouchi 165mm Funayuki Japanese Kitchen Knife - No Handle - Perfect for Sushi, Sashimi & Precision Vegetable Cutting

Introducing the Buho Funayuki 165mm: A Masterful Fusion of Gyuto and Santoku

We are proud to present the exquisite Buho Funayuki 165mm, a general-purpose knife skillfully crafted by master blacksmith Takeo Murata. Occupying a central spot in the Buho lineup, this unique blade merges the best qualities of a Gyuto and a Santoku, offering versatility and precision for a wide range of kitchen tasks.

Murata-san has chosen Blue Paper #1 carbon steel for this masterpiece, showcasing his remarkable expertise in forging incredibly sharp edges, fine grinds, and precise balance. With a hardness of 61-63 Rockwell, the steel is encased in a stunning kurouchi finish. This black hammer finish not only enhances the knife's aesthetic appeal but also makes maintenance a breeze.

The octagonal ho wood Wa handle complements the blade beautifully, offering an excellent grip and further improving the overall balance of this fine instrument.
