Minarai Series –
Literally meaning “to look and learn,” Minarai is a quintessentially Japanese way of describing the role of an apprentice. In that spirit, the Minarai Series expresses five of Carter’s highly refined designs in an economical format. The blades of Minarai Series knives are precision ground from Carpenter Technology’s CTS BD1N—a high-carbon, nitrogen-enriched stainless steel that provides a superior balance of hardness, edge holding, and corrosion resistance. Like all knives in the Murray Carter Collection, they are ground exceptionally thin and straight for superior cutting performance and proudly feature the signature “Carter Elbow”—a distinctive taper from the spine to the point that reinforces the blade’s tip. In classic style, the knives of the Minarai Series showcase traditional “wa-style” (octagonal) handles. Injection-molded polypropylene, a virtually indestructible high strength material, these handles ensure both comfort and precise control. A remarkable fusion of time-tested traditional designs and state-of-the-art modern materials, the Minarai Series accurately translates Murray Carter’s prized custom designs into high-performance cutlery that is sure to please even the most discriminating cooking enthusiasts.
