Japanese Nakiri Knife

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

For about 9 months now, I have had the pleasure of having a Teruyasu Fujiwara knife in my kitchen. I also have knives by Itto Ryu (Shirogami #2), Takeo Murata (Aogami #1) and a Dojo (Aogami Super) as well as a few other pieces. I sharpen them all the same, using the same procedure and stones. My Teruyasu knife is by far the best of them, and what I notice the most is that it stays sharper than all the other ones, for a longer period of time. I have the finger rest design, and I must say that I now wish my other knives had the feature as well. I would not hesitate to purchase yet another Teruyasu Fujiwara knife, and I strongly recomend his products.

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!!!

Not every day but when used particularly
with fish it is perfect

Fantastic knife. I needed a short and tall blade to deal with garlic, herbs and spring onion...this one delivers every time as long as you know how to look after it.

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

Excellent knife, best of all my collection

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!
