Kyohei Shindo Warikomi Blue #2 Kurouchi 165mm Funayuki with Keyaki Wa Handle and Plastic Ferrule

Not all blacksmiths dreamt of being a blacksmith. Hokkaido born Kyohei Shindo, however, dreamt of being a blacksmith from a young age and accomplished just that by opening up his own shop in Tosa city, in Kōchi prefecture by age 32.

His knives are characterized by having a tapering spine yet incredibly thin cutting edge, and a Tosa lacquered kurouchi finish. For the price, the out-of-box edge and performance of a knife like this is seldom beat.

The Funayuki, a knife once developed to be the only knife fishermen needed on a boat, has evolved over time. The modern approach features a thinner spine, making it more delicate than its original design. Although we don't recommend using it to fillet a fish, the Funayuki excels in other areas.

One of its standout features is the aggressive pointed tip, similar to that of a bunka, which gently slopes back towards the spine like a santoku. This versatile shape makes it an excellent choice for tasks like cutting carrots with minimal wedging or for anyone seeking a hybrid between a santoku and a bunka.

Extremely well made

Fantastic attention to detail- finish and grind are outstanding for the price and this steel can keep a good edge while being somewhat lower maintenance. Excellent!

Big things in small packages

This knife is screaming sharp and tall enough to do anything you need a petty or gyuto for. If i had one knife for everything this would be it. Super thin and sharp as heck!
