Reviews | FUJIWARA TERUYASU Japanese knives manufacturer

This knife is definitely a bruiser/workhorse, but thin where it counts, behind the edge, with great convex grind and geometry.
Measurements:
1. Edge length: 213mm
2. Height about heel: 49.mm
3. Spine thickness: 3.9mm at heel, 2.5mm halfway,
2mm an inch from the tip.
4. Weight: 189 grams.

Performance:
Lasers through soft product with ease despite the thick spine. This knife really lives up to the

Friction fit saya that does the job of protecting the blade and looks great. I upgraded my handle to an octagonal magnolia with buffalo horn ferrule and the saya matches the handle very well. Definetly worth the extra 15$ USD

Handle has great feel in the hand. Pronounced taper from the buffalo horn bolster to the heal of the handle resulting in great comfort. Only a slight bump at the magnolia wood to horn junction. Tang is friction fit with no visible adhesive (no epoxy or glue) so you might consider sealing the tang with some kind of adhesive such as bees wax, epoxy, clear glue, to make sure the seal betweeen handle and tang are waterproof to protect against water damage. Overall, nice handle with great fit and finish. Medium size handle at around 2.5 inches in circumference...It is 28$ USD to upgrade from a western handle or magnolia wood d shaped with plastic bolster and it is worth every penny. I would recommend upgrading to this handle if possible.

Knife is forged/ground extremely thin from the primary bevel resulting in high performance. The knife is around 53 mm tall, 2.5mm spine thickness at the heal, and around 160mm along the cutting edge. I asked for a finger rest and it is very comfortable in a pinch grip. The steel (white#1 HRC 65) is some of the best available on the market. OOB needs a finish sharpening as micro chips can occur out of the box because of the high heat treat and acute bevel that is applied. It just needs a few passes on a higher grit stone(2000-8000) and the micro chipping issues are gone. Overall, great performer with the ability to handle heavy vegetable prep to detail work in a professional setting. The stainless Nashiji finish is very durable, low maintenance, aesthetically pleasing, low friction, releases food with ease, and full of character. I would not hesitate to order again because customer service is great and Mr Fujiwara is simply one of the best blacksmiths out there!!! Thank you very much!!!

Truely an amazing piece of craftsmanship. I am very happy with this knife. Thank you very much.

Absolutely the best knife in my kitchen. The ergonomics are excellent for chopping or slicing, the steel maintains its edge and requires little honing and the handle is as beautiful as the craftsmanship of the blade.
