Fujiwara Knives

The Teruyasu Fujiwara knife category presents the work of the fourth generation of blacksmiths from the Fujiwara family, whose blade forging traditions date back over 130 years. After World War II, when sword production was limited, the Fujiwara family turned to making knives and scissors, continuing their artisanal heritage and restoring the family brand to its former glory.

Unlike many blacksmiths who buy ready-made, laminated blanks, Fujiwara makes his blades by hand, using techniques once used to produce the famous Japanese swords – katanas. His production method, known as San Mai, involves using three layers of steel, where the outer layers protect the valuable core. This approach quickly gained popularity in the production of Japanese kitchen knives.
