The Fujiwara family started 130 years ago as forging swords, but then after World War II, when sword production collapsed, Teruyasu Fujiwara IV started making kitchen knives. knives are designed with the professional in mind. The blade is very hard (64-65, Rockwell) and thin behind the blade, so it cuts really well. Due to its hardness, the blade retains its sharpness for a very long time. The carbon steel core of the blade is protected by stainless sides (Sanmai), so the blade of the knife is not easily rusted. The knife in question is razor sharp and beautifully finished.
