Designed by world-renowned knifemaker Murray Carter, official heir to a 420-year-old Japanese bladesmithing lineage, Spyderco�s Murray Carter Collection faithfully translates Carter�s coveted handcrafted designs into affordable factory-made kitchen cutlery. The newest additions to this proud family of knives are his Minarai Series. Literally meaning �to look and learn,� minarai is a quintessentially Japanese way of describing the role of an apprentice. 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.
An all-purpose knife suitable for preparing meat, vegetables, and fish, the Bunka Bocho literally means �cultural knife,� because of its role in making traditional Japanese cuisine in the home. Closely related to the Santoku (�three virtues�) knife, the Bunka Bocho has a more acute and utilitarian point.
