The Minarai™ Series is Spyderco's latest offering in their foray into the quality kitchen knife market.
The Funayuki, literally translated as “ship going,” is a versatile pattern that's extremely popular with fishermen. It excels at chopping, draw-cutting, and other general kitchen tasks.

In that spirit, the Minarai Series expresses five of Carter’s highly refined designs in an economical format featuring solid CTS® BD1N stainless steel blades and injection-molded polypropylene handles. A remarkable fusion of time-tested traditional designs and state-of-the-art modern materials.
