Fujiwara Denka no Hoto

Professional chefs generally hold a knife by pinching the blade with the thumb and fore- nger. The unique nger notch cut from the choil makes this grip even easier and more comfortable.

These knives are nished with a Western style pakka wood handle. The Pakka wood handle is made from layers of wood and resin, compressed under high heat to produce and incredibly durable material. The net result is a handle that looks and feels like wood, but not affected by water. Fujiwara knives feature a tapered tang for great balance.

The kanji on the knife blade藤原照康作reads “Fujiwara Teruyasu Saku” (Made by Teruyasu Fujiwara).
