Fujiwara Nashiji Gyuto 195mm
About Teruyasu Fujiwara -Fujiwara is one of the most revered names in the world of Japanese knives. The Fujiwara family started as blacksmiths in 1870, first forging farm tools, then swords. Many blacksmiths these days make a blade with a carbon steel core laminated with an outer layer of stainless steel for a high-performance knife with lower maintenance; this guy was one of the first to develop this technique.Â
This blade is made from Shirogami steel, called âwhite carbonâ in English, and while it requires care to avoid rust, it gets sharper than just about any other knife steel out there. The rough ânashijiâ finish is inspired by the skin of an Asian pear and shows off the hard work and care that goes into making his knives.
At Knifewear, saying âI own a Fujiwaraâ is basically a secret handshake that tells everyone you have fantastic taste in knives. The Fujiwara family started as blacksmiths in 1870, first forging farm tools, then swords. Today, their name is one of the most revered in the world of Japanese knives.
About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi-purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. âGyutoâ translates to a âcow sword.â If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.
