Reviews | FUJIWARA TERUYASU Japanese knives manufacturer

Me and my wife really love your knife ,it's a real tool and no decoration. We use it every day in our kitchen. Cutting is mutch faster and cleaner.
It handels well and sharpening it is only needed very rarely.

I purchased this 150 mm petty almost a year ago as an inexpensive way to experience handmade knives. All my previous knives were french, japanese, and german production.

I reach for it whenever my larger knives feel too cumbersome or my cutting board is crowded. It can easily handle anything up to large potatoes and onions, and is perfect for shallots, garlic, and other small tasks, including boneless meats.

The blade has a very pleasing rustic look, yet it is wonderfully ground and tapered for performance. Very thin at the edge, but with just enough body behind it to feel solid. The exposed carbon edge has become a grey-blue color that contrasts against the stainless in a very pleasing way. It sharpens easily, and stays sharp far longer than it should, especially if stropped occasionally. The initial edge was very sharp, but had areas of very small chipping, which I quickly fixed on a 4000 stone. No problems of any kind since.

The (western style) handle is a bit too rustic. The spine is below the level of the top of the handle enough to let food particles stick in, making cleaning more of a chore. It is also visually distracting. That said, the handle is made from surprisingly nice Indian Rosewood (I believe) and feels good in the hand. I was worried it felt too small at first, but in use it provides the knuckle clearance I need, and the easy cutting of the blade does not require a wood chopping grip.

Overall, this knife does everything it should, and is just a better handle away from full marks. Thinking about it now though, I've had almost a year to fix or replace the handle and haven't. I probably never will either (though it is worthy of something nicer). I'll probably buy another one too, because I haven't seen or used anything that worked so well for the price.

i love this deba. cut fish like butter.. the best deba..

the best gyuto i have ever used in my life. it's so sharp and easy to maintain. amazing balance knife. i have recommend to my colleges.

totally love the knives. cutting vegetable have never been so easy..

I use this knife more often than I expected. It is easy to keep sharp, and the size is perfect for small jobs.

This knife takes a very keen edge and is easy to sharpen. The Nashiji finish prevents food from sticking.

I've been using my Fujiwara Teruyasu knives for 12 months, they quickly became my favourite knives to use. I can rely on them to stay sharp for a long time.

This is the most indispensable knife in my collection. I use it for just about any kind of task.

I love this knife. It hold's a fine edge extremely well. It will be part of my cooking for years to come. Thank you.

I have bought three of your knives over the years and they have always performed at an exceptional level. I don't say this lightly because I am a daiku and have used a lot of exceptional edge tools in my trade.

Couteaux exceptionnels, mon meilleur investissement en cuisine.

Excellent knife, best of all my collection

Very sharp and well made blade and the whole knife has a nice feel to it, with some heft. Fun to use!

An absolutely superb knife. Not a 'pretty' knife - this is all about doing what a knife should do well - cutting. Razor sharp, beautifully balanced - truly the knife for a serious cook.

I love this nakiri. It was the sharpest i've ever seen out of the box, even compared to Kato or Shigefusa. Perfect for slicing chives!

I bought the 150mm, great handmade blade, at a great price. Basic western handle, If you want a nicer one mabroishi no meito range offers that upgrade. Will order again.

This is one of the finest knives I have owned. When cutting fish it is almost as if the flesh moves itself to avoid being cut by such a sharp blade.

Thank you for your hard work.

I purchased this high quality knife directly from Fujiwara and am very happy. I had a few specific requests and they were handled promptly and professionally over email. The knife is full of charecter and soul and cuts like a dream. The edge retention is tremendous for a White #1 steel. I am a very happy customer.
