Reviews | FUJIWARA TERUYASU Japanese knives manufacturer

Basically good knife, good heat treatment, but very irregular and inconsistent geometry. Thinning with stones requires geological timescales. Cuts well, but not amazing.

An amazing knife by an amazing knife maker, sharp, balanced, beautiful, a work of art!

Excellent craftsmanship and edge retention.

Very well crafted gyuto. Very easy to sharpen and stays sharp for a very long time. A very enjoyable knife to use.

The 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.

Great knife!

Easy to sharpen, holds it's edge great!
Cheers!

Absolutely fantastic knife. Handle with care, since it's razor-sharp.

I 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!

I 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!

Just 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.

I'm fussy about things being sharp, whether a knife, razor, scissors, or nail clippers, I've always insisted on having a sharp edge. This is especially important with knives because I use them every day, and I decided to order your Santoku-knife. Thin-shredded cabbage and sliced onions...its edge sliced through with no effort, and I could go on cutting forever; this made me so happy! I will take very, very good care of this knife and keep it sharp; thank you for making such a high-quality knife.

This was the first time I purchased a non-stainless steel knife (Santoku-knife). The price had always held me back from buying, but in the end my stainless steel knife became so blunt. I was annoyed every time I used it; so I finally decided to buy your knife. I was wowed by its outstanding sharpness! It cuts through vegetables and meats effortlessly, and food preparation has become so much easier. But I do have one regret, I should've bought it much earlier. The knife does gets rusty if I leave it wet and requires slightly different care from stainless steel tools, but with good care and maintenance I look forward to using this knife for a very long time.

I used to learn iai (the art of drawing a sword) and also practiced tameshigiri (target test cutting). Your knives made by a swordsmith caught my attention, and now that I cook more often, I've decided to replace my old knives with yours.
I can tell how sharp this knife is, and in fact, I enjoy cooking more now. Your knife motivated me to cut, cut, and cut foods and take on more challenging recipes! I will cherish and take good care of this knife and use it for a long time.
