That dual-purpose heritage makes it one of the most versatile knives in the Japanese tradition: nimble enough for fish, capable enough for meat and vegetables. This unbranded example is fully forged with a full tang and a traditional magnolia wood handle. At just 0.8mm thick behind the edge, the blade is exceptionally thin and responsive. Carbon steel takes a keener edge than stainless and rewards regular whetstone maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of camellia oil after drying to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-bevel knives require specialist sharpening - professional sharpening recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a saya or on a magnetic rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52211657998627,"sku":"CK-V127746","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/69B56753-6394-48AD-B1F0-2BE55C3D9D90.jpg?v=1783319696","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-funayuki-knife-130mm-carbon-steel-1671","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
