Fujiwara Teruyasu Santoku 18 cm Nashiji Shirogami#1

The Santoku Knife from Fujiwara, with an 18-centimeter blade, is a versatile culinary accessory that makes a range of kitchen tasks more enjoyable, from fine chopping to precise cutting. Each blade is a work of art, shaped by Master Fujiwara, who uses ancient steel forging methods, drawing on the rich tradition of katana swords.

The uniqueness of this knife comes from the San Mai methodology, which provides a three-layer blade structure. The hard core of Shirogami #1 carbon steel is flanked by layers of flexible stainless steel, which guarantees not only strength but also flexibility, increasing the blade's hardness to 64-65 HRC. The knife catches the eye with its Nashiji finish, which is the essence of Japanese aesthetics.

The knife's handle, in the classic Japanese “WA” style, is made of magnolia wood, providing an ergonomic grip and comfortable use, regardless of your dominant hand. The Fujiwara Nashiji Shirogami #1 knife is not only a practical piece of kitchen equipment, but also an element of Japan's cultural heritage, bringing elegance and precision to any kitchen environment.
