The Funayuki (\"boat going\") is the traditional Japanese fisherman's all-rounder: agile enough for scaling and gutting at sea, precise enough for sashimi prep and vegetable work on the dock. A collector-grade piece of authentic Sakai craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese high-carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Funayuki (single bevel, right-handed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood (wa-style)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sakai Ryujin (堺竜神)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-owned, vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2263\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRyujin (竜神) translates to \"Dragon God\" - the powerful ruler of the seas in Japanese mythology, capable of controlling tides and taking human form. The Sakai Ryujin marque carries this symbolism into every blade: these knives were built for the demanding, salt-spray conditions of professional fishing and coastal food trade. Sakai has produced Japan's finest single-bevel blades for over 600 years, and the Funayuki profile emerged as the fisherman's trusted companion - a single-bevel blade that handles the full sequence from whole fish to plated sashimi with minimal knife changes. The hollow-ground Urasuki back eliminates food friction for clean, tearless cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone on the flat (ura) side only - single-bevel geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on Japanese water stones (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack 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":55573587689763,"sku":"2263","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/B9C6E226-0F36-437D-9D3E-CD3596CFCDD8.jpg?v=1789356164","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-sakai-ryujin-funayuki-knife-150mm-highb-carbon-steel-wood-handle-2263","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
