Teruyasu Fujiwara has a reputation as a pioneer in Japanese blacksmithing and his heat treatment is superb, giving extremely sharp knives that outperform others in a similar cost bracket.

As these knives are thin and have a high HRC (hardness on the Rockwell scale), they do need to be treated with care and respect, to prevent chipping - no twisting and no ice breaking.

* This Japanese knife is stainless clad with a high carbon core. The small White #1 (shirogami) high carbon steel section near the blade edge will change colour (patina) during use.

* Ensure the blade is dry when not in use, to prevent surface rust - and an occasional coat of oil will be appreciated.

* Measurements and photo's are indicative only. Knives will vary in each batch
