Spyderco Kitchen Knives
The Murray Carter Collection is Spyderco's production version of master bladesmith Murray Carter's Japanese kitchen knives. It includes the Petty, Funayuki, Nakiri, Bunka Bocho and Gyuto, all with octagonal handles.
The Minarai line uses CTS BD1N with polypropylene handles, and the Wakiita line uses CTS BD1N with G-10 handles. Both are made in Japan. We also carry Spyderco's Z-Cut and other kitchen knives.
