For camping enthusiasts who love the art of outdoor cooking, having the right tools can make all the difference.
Spyderco’s Murray Carter Collection of culinary knives is designed to meet that need, bringing the precision of traditional Japanese bladesmithing into the wild.
Created by world-renowned knifemaker Murray Carter, heir to a 420-year-old Japanese bladesmithing lineage, these knives combine time-honored craftsmanship with modern materials, offering the perfect balance of performance and durability for any campsite kitchen.
The newest addition to the collection, the Minarai Series, represents the essence of apprentice learning in Japan. “Minarai” translates to “look and learn,” embodying the hands-on experience of learning from a master.
This series faithfully reflects five of Carter’s refined knife designs in an affordable and accessible format, making these high-quality blades an excellent choice for camp cooks who want to elevate their skills.
Crafted from solid CTS BD1N stainless steel, the Minarai knives are built to withstand the challenges of outdoor cooking while maintaining a sharp, reliable edge. The injection-molded polypropylene handles ensure a secure, comfortable grip, even when prepping meals in less-than-ideal weather conditions.
Whether you’re slicing vegetables, prepping meat, or filleting fish, the Minarai Series delivers professional-grade performance in a lightweight, weather-resistant package.
One standout from the series is the Bunka Bocho, an all-purpose knife that’s perfect for the versatile demands of camp cooking. Its name translates to “cultural knife,” as it’s traditionally used in Japanese households for preparing meals.
Closely related to the Santoku knife, which translates to “three virtues” (referring to its ability to handle meat, vegetables, and fish), the Bunka Bocho is distinguished by its more acute point, offering greater precision for detailed tasks like trimming or delicate slicing.
This makes it a go-to blade for outdoor chefs who need a knife that can handle everything from prepping wild game to dicing vegetables for stews or skewers. Spyderco’s Murray Carter Collection brings professional-grade kitchen tools into the great outdoors.
Whether you’re grilling by the campfire or crafting a gourmet meal under the stars, these knives are built to enhance your culinary experience. Durable, sharp, and versatile, they’re the perfect companion for campers who take pride in their cooking.
