Fujiwara Kiridashi Hammered 9 mm Shirogami #2

Traditional Japanese Fujiwara Kiridashi knife with a 9 mm blade.

In Japan, these types of knives were traditionally used for woodworking, wood carving, and marking. Today, however, many chefs and home cooks use them as handy utility knives.

Fujiwara has a long history of producing Kiridashi knives – this small, family brand has been forging these handy accessories for three generations. They are forged from Shirogami #2 steel, which makes them easy to sharpen and ensures that they retain their sharpness for a long time.
