The funayuki sits between a deba and a gyuto in character - shorter and more robust than a slicer, but thinner and more agile than a deba. Originally designed for fishermen who needed one knife to do everything on a boat, it has found a permanent place in professional kitchens as a compact, all-purpose blade. At 140mm it is nimble and precise, ideal for breaking down small fish, portioning proteins, or fine vegetable work where a longer blade would feel unwieldy. Single-bevel geometry delivers the edge precision that Japanese professional cookery demands. Carbon steel sharpens to a finer edge than stainless and rewards those who maintain it. Never used, original box included.\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 to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing long-term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone on a whetstone only - no honing rod for single-bevel blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a whetstone; professional sharpening recommended for single-bevel geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55408933437731,"sku":"Sakai Ryujin Funayuki","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/30B60029-AEA3-40E5-B153-D7D95D2D50D4.jpg?v=1787469945","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-sakai-ryujin-funayuki-knife-140mm-carbon-steel-2152","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
