Santoku Funayuki is a jack-of-all-trades in the kitchen and will excel at all types of chopping and slicing on the kitchen board; you might find it a touch short only for very large chunks of meat.
BLADE SHAPE:
Compared to the basic Santoku knife shape, the spine of funayuki’s blade tapers towards the tip, creating a slight curve between the tip and the midsection. The standard shape of a santoku knife featuring a straight edge with a narrow sheep’s foot blade thus transforms into a blade that looks like a deba but is better suited to precision cutting, where you need really thin cuts (this makes it unsuitable for cutting through bones or making more robust cuts). As opposed to a forward and backward motion slicing technique that is characteristic of santoku knives, the curved belly requires a rocking back and forth motion. A pronounced tip and triangle design are perfect for cutting smaller pieces of meat and for filleting fish.

The word funayuki means “the boat (ocean) goes” and the knife was originally used on fishing boats, primarily as a lightweight fillet knife to test the quality of the catch, as well as to prepare meals at sea and perform a range of cleaning and prep jobs. Related products
