Master Swordsmith Teruyasu Fujiwara the fourth generation blacksmith Denka no Hoto, "Treasured Family Sword". Fujiwara's knives exceed all expectations of performance and edge holding. They are truly the finest performance available. 

These knives are completely hand forged from start to finish by a true master. The hard super aogami (super blue carbon steel) core is laminated between softer stainless steel. This technique results in a knife that has the performance of a carbon steel knife (a keen, long lasting edge and ease of sharpening) without many of the maintenance issues (rusting and oxidation). Because only the carbon steel cutting edge is exposed, the knife is far less likely to rust. The blade is then hardened to Rockwell 65-66 (very hard!).

Both the blade and tang are distal tapered for the best possible balance and performance.

It will get screaming sharp so keep those fingers tucked!
