Fujiwara san Nashiji Santoku (universal knife), 180 mm
Fujiwara san Nashiji Santoku,
Hand-beaten blade of stainless steel with the core of extremely hard Japanese Shirogami # 1 White steel. This knife is completely hand forged by Teruyasu Fujiwara and is unique in its kind, the blade has a particularly matte appearance. The blade is thin and manually sharpened and has no thickening, which makes grinding very easy. A Santoku is suitable for all jobs. The knife is designed to cut both fish, meat and greetings and is a hybrid form between a chef's knife and a nakiri (greeting knife). The handle is made from traditional Honoki wood (Japanese Magnolia wood). A special feature is that the handle stays rough when wet. The handle is D-shaped and is therefore only suitable for right-handed use.
The Fujiwara family is an old and famous Samurai family, 140 years ago the family started making swords and knives. Fujiwara Teruyasu san is the 4th generation and is known worldwide for its excellent knives and is considered to be one of the best knife makers in Japan and beyond.
