What is a funayuki?
The funayuki's original function was to serve as a multipurpose knife for fishing boats. The manner in which a knife maker today designs and markets their knives will determine how the phrase is utilized. A generally flat blade profile with a small belly and a short, practical size are two characteristics that are shared by all funayukis. Similar to the equally versatile gyuto and santoku, a funayuki can also be used to cut meat, vegetables, and fruit.
Compared to a santoku, funayuki has a pointier and more agile tip. One can consider funayuki as simply a smaller version of a gyuto.
