I am extremely honored to offer this line of knives, which are made in collaboration with Teruyasu Fujiwara San. This is a small batch of hammered shirogami 1 with a Kurouchi finish. Each blade has been hand finished on stones with respect to Fujiwara to ensure the highest quality experience possible. 

An amazingly versatile knife that doesn’t play around. With a family history of 130 years making swords, Fujiwara San has been a pioneer in the industry. His knives are made to cut! This has a stainless kurouchi cladding around Shirogami #1 forged with traditional methods. It will get screaming sharp so keep those fingers tucked!
