Tosa blades are known for their exceptional craftsmanship and sharpness. They were often used by samurai and were highly regarded for their cutting ability. The Tosa region’s unique iron ore and traditional forging techniques contributed to the distinctive characteristics of Tosa blades. Many Tosa blacksmiths enjoy making kurouchi knives(black finish) and the area is known for this type of finish using hammer forge techniques in making their knives.
A Funayuki style knife(舟行包丁) is an all purpose knife just like the santoku style designed for everyday cooking and can be used to cut fish, meat and vegetables. It originally was a fisheman's all purpose knife and the name funayuki came from the shape of the blade which looks like a boat.
