Alec RedpathScore:★★★★★Date:2017/07/26This 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![Gyuto knife [Nashiji]](/upload/save_image/10291954_653e39d61b59a.jpg)

William KelsallScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/06An 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.

Jeff BrownScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/06Very well crafted gyuto. Very easy to sharpen and stays sharp for a very long time. A very enjoyable knife to use.

chris phillipsScore:★★★Date:2015/11/06The bones of this knife is superb. No matter how much it is polished, still has bite.
The problem was that the knife required a lot of work on the stones. A lot of overgrind and the knife needed considerable thinning. Working through SS is laborious. Last, the neck or choilwas gauged. More of a fit and finish issue as this does not impact performance. Many of us knife nuts buy these knifes for its steel and accept that we will need to subject it to our stones, for better or worst. Currently, the knife is wedging more than I would like on tall dense products. The cutting edge is awesome. -

I will be ordering more knives in the future.
Thank you so much. -
AntonScore:★★★★★Date:2024/04/20Im VERY happy with my order and The result. I changed a few things along the way, one being going with Denka instead of Mab. Of course there were no problem and custom service were swift with the response and change of order.
210 mm denka were perfect and I use it everyday.
Thanks alot! 10/10.

John RidgwayScore:★★★★★Date:2017/08/22This is a great knife with a traditional wabi-sabi aesthetic of subtle irregularity that reveals its making. Perfectly balanced and super sharp it is a pleasure to use every day. The Maboroshi is also a very practical knife of carbon steal blade wrapped in a stainless steal. I have a few Japanese knives but I love my Maboroshi and Nashiji best because of simple natural beauty and they way they feel in my hand when I cut.

Peter MathesonScore:★★★★★Date:2016/01/31I am admittedly enchanted by the rustic beauty of Fujiwara knives. I own a Denka Santoku and now a Maboroshi Gyuto. These knives are truly handmade, no two exactly the same. Your knife will be unique in its own way. What is in common with both of my knives is a wicked cutting edge.
After over 25 years of working in a professional kitchen, the daily routine of cutting meat and vegetables can become monotonous. Working with Fujiwara knives has changed the way I think about kitchen knives. I now take a new delight in my daily routine of cutting and chopping.
I can also say that I've had and excellent experience with their attentive customer service. -
Chris ValkiersScore:★★★★★Date:2015/12/16I had to wait some time before the knife arrived, probably because of the ebony handle I ordered. When it arrived it was packed as a gift. I'm very pleased with this knife. I use it for some time now. It is super sharp and has a beautiful artisan look and feel.

Carl SawatskyScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/17What can I say other than that this knife is amazing. Functional Art. Great distal taper, great medium weight, amazing edge retention and ease of sharpening. Not super reactive at the edge either. It is an absolute pleasure to work with his knives in a professional kitchen. Dont hesitate to buy something of this level of quality, just do it!

Ian PoyScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/08I'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.

Nick WalstonScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/07I love this knife. It hold's a fine edge extremely well. It will be part of my cooking for years to come. Thank you.

Glenn KistnerScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/06Very sharp and well made blade and the whole knife has a nice feel to it, with some heft. Fun to use!
-
Brad KScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/06I 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.

Frans JanssensScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/06I bought the knife for my son who is 18 years old was he works there every day with a lot of fun with it in the kitchen of the restaurant where he works, he says that it is difficult to deal with his own knife because his colleague, s every time his knife suits
-
Robert M.Score:★★★Date:2015/11/06Basically good knife, good heat treatment, but very irregular and inconsistent geometry. Thinning with stones requires geological timescales. Cuts well, but not amazing.

Marco RovereScore:★★★★★Date:2015/11/06Absolutely fantastic knife. Handle with care, since it's razor-sharp.

IchiScore:★★★★★Date:2014/09/18I tried your knife right after it arrived and said to myself, now this is a REAL knife!
I don't know how to explain this, but the knife seemingly glides through foods; I am so impressed.
It's perfectly balanced weight seems to enhance the sharpness; I look forward to using this knife for my cooking! -
TakeichiScore:★★★★★Date:2014/09/18I wasn't happy with off-the-shelf knives, so I purchased Fujiwara-san's knife. Its edge is much sharper than I expected and I immediately became a fan of your products!
I was so impressed that on the day after I received my knife, I ordered another one as a gift for my mother! -
SomeppiScore:★★★★★Date:2014/09/18Just as I thought...good things ARE good! Its edge is just like that of a sword.
This will last a lifetime, and I will use it with good care. -
JanScore:★★★★★Date:2025/02/13It is well known that FT knives are top-quality (and the one I received is no exception), so let me comment on my customer support experience: Excellent! All my questions were answered within a day, and you even promised to expedite delivery to be in time for Christmas when I told you it was a gift. The promise was not only kept, the delivery was ahead of schedule - after a long journey from a Japanese forge to a British Christmas tree. You made our day. Will recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic knife and fantastic service!

BuyerScore:★★★★★Date:2024/11/07Just received my knife in record time! I ordered it on Oct 21st and received it on November 4th. The first and finish is absolutely stunning, as it should be for a knife at this price point. On performance, it cuts like a DREAM. I’m so happy with my purchase, the customer service staff were very responsive and super helpful. They catered to my needs and even sent me pictures of my knife once it was done. My experience with Fujiwara has been a solid 15/10. This is my first time buying from them but it’ll certainly won’t be my last. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

Ali NazariScore:★★★★★Date:2021/07/15Incredible knife! I purchased the 180mm Gyuto Denka no Hoto and it's absolutely stunning. The steel is beautiful and sharper than any other knife I have ever used. It feels clearly sharper than my Shun knives ever have. I really like the spot for my index finger as well. Thank you so much for your hard work and extraordinary knife making skills! A true treasure I will enjoy using during my lifetime. Great customer service and easy shipping experience as well. Looking forward to maybe another Denka in my future :) Thanks again!

Stuart CarterScore:★★★★★Date:2016/01/30Simply the best knife I have ever used. I have worked kitchen for approximately 12 years professionally, and there is no equivalent to this knife. Received knife quickly via mail, hand-made; obtained with ebony-style handle and finger holster. Extremely well balanced, blade is better than razor sharp and cuts through meat and vegetables, etc., effortlessly. Beautiful knife overall, would buy again, and recommending to friends. From another professional source here locally in Edmonton, this knife is known as one of the best knives in the world, and this is obvious once used. Easily a five-out-of-five star knife.
Thank you very much Fujiwara-san! -
