The Funayuki () is a traditional Japanese knife that is used by fisherman aboard their boats; indeed, Funayuki literally translates in to English as “going on boat”. These knives are often used by fishermen to clean, fillet and quality test small or medium-sized fish. However, in the past, fishermen also used their Funayuki to prepare food for themselves (either out at sea, or back at port), so the knife also had to be capable of cutting meat, vegetables and fruit.
