Single Edged – Funayuki (Filet Knife)

A versatile fish knife that handles filleting, trimming, and light kitchen prep.

The name funayuki means going on a boat. It was originally the all-purpose knife fishermen carried to sea. Longer and slimmer than a standard deba, it is light enough to fillet small and medium fish and to trim and portion them, and it can also take on general prep.

Our funayuki is forged from high-carbon White Steel with a traditional kasumi finish and a single-bevel edge, giving it the clean cutting of a classic Japanese fish knife. It is a good first single-bevel knife for home cooks who prepare fish often.
