Spyderco Murray Carter Premium Kitchen Knives - Highly Refined Signature Japanese Knives for Culinary Professionals

Designed by Murray Carter and offered by Spyderco, this premium family of Japanese-style kitchen knives brings Carter's refined blade geometries to factory-made cutlery. The line includes Itamae and Minarai interpretations with precision-ground blades—many using CTS BD1N stainless steel and select Itamae models featuring laminated Aogami cores—engineered for hardness, edge holding and corrosion resistance. Construction spans forged and economical stamped options, with thin, straight grinds and features found in the series (including Carter Elbow taper in select models) for tip reinforcement and superior cutting performance. Handles employ traditional wa-style octagonal grips in burl G-10, black G-10, or injection-molded polypropylene to provide balance, comfort and precise control. The collection covers Japanese blade patterns such as Gyuto, Nakiri, Petty, Bunka and Funayuki, making it suitable for professional kitchen use and detailed home food preparation.
