Fujiwara Teruyasu

The Teruyasu Fujiwara Knife category presents the work of the fourth generation of blacksmiths from the Fujiwara family, whose knife-making traditions date back over 130 years. After World War II, when sword production was restricted, the Fujiwara family turned to making knives and scissors, continuing their craft heritage and restoring the family brand to its former glory.
Unlike many blacksmiths, who buy ready-made, laminated blanks, Fujiwara manufactures its blades by hand, using techniques once used in the production of the famous Japanese swords, katanas. This production method, known as San Mai, involves the use of three layers of steel, where the outer layers protect the precious core. This approach quickly gained popularity in the production of Japanese kitchen knives.
