The Spyderco Murray Carter Minarai Gyuto is a Japanese-style chef’s knife developed in collaboration with master bladesmith Murray Carter. Designed as a versatile kitchen workhorse, the Gyuto features a long cutting edge suited for slicing meat, chopping vegetables, and handling a wide range of everyday food preparation tasks. Its blade geometry reflects Carter’s traditional Japanese knifemaking background while offering the practicality of a modern production kitchen knife.

The blade is constructed from CTS BD1N stainless steel with a satin finish and a full-flat grind that provides efficient cutting performance through a variety of ingredients. A black octagonal polypropylene handle offers the familiar shape of a traditional Japanese wa-style handle while remaining easy to maintain. Made in Japan, the Minarai Gyuto is designed for cooks who appreciate traditional Japanese blade geometry and straightforward, functional materials.
