Our Gesshin Magomitsu workshop is dedicated to the production of historical styles of knives and the preservation of history and traditions of the people of the Noto Peninsula. Their strong ties to the sea and the cuisine they developed from it prove the need for dependable tools that can withstand the rigors of the ocean.
The funayuki is a single-bevel knife, similar in function and shape to the deba, but notably thinner. Because of this thinness, the fish cutting ability of this kind of knife is more graceful and agile. It is also, consequently, more delicate. Furthermore, the fishermen of the Noto Peninsula would bring these on board to prepare meals for themselves to sustain their energy while fishing all day. They would use funayuki to cut fruits and vegetables.
