KAI Corporation carries that name as their premier retail brand. The funayuki sits between a deba and a yanagiba in geometry - thinner than a deba, shorter than a yanagiba, with a single-bevel grind that gives it the slicing precision of a dedicated Japanese blade at a compact 150mm length. Carbon steel at this format takes a hard, fine edge that makes fish and poultry work feel effortless. The magnolia wood handle is the traditional pairing: lightweight, moisture-resistant, and balanced in the hand. A versatile vintage Japanese blade from a name with a 600-year lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and 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\u003eSingle-bevel blade - sharpen on the flat (ura) face only using Japanese water stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo honing rod - resharpen on stones when needed (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in original box or on a magnetic rack - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55515312849187,"sku":"VTG-SEKI-MAGOROKU-FUNAYUKI-150-2262","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/B3A3C830-DD8B-41BF-A3ED-C3261DA2DE85.jpg?v=1790494455","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-seki-magoroku-funayuki-knife-150mm-carbon-steel-magnolia-wood-handle-2262","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
