About Teruyasu Fujiwaras

The Fujiwara family started as blade forgers over 150 years ago. After WWII, the production of swords was severely limited and the family turned to knives and scissors for production industries. Teruyasu Fujiwara IV turned to make kitchen knives as a way to regain some of the family’s previous glory. 

The knives Fujiwara-san makes are the real darlings of Knifewear. Many blacksmiths buy pre-laminated blanks and make blades with a carbon steel core and laminate it with stainless steel for lower maintenance, well this guy does that process in house. He is definitely a man with a few tricks up his sleeve.

  • Nigara Hamono

    Nigara Hamono is a relatively new knifemaker out of Aomori prefecture, but they are not new as a company. The company has been around for over 350 years, tracing back to its swordsmith ancestors. Knifemaking is a small part of what they do; they also produce large steel beams and such for buildings! Go Yoshizawa, age 35, is a young blacksmith who is the company president's son and has decided to go back to their blacksmithing roots. He now makes unique and stunning tsuchime knives and some hand-folded Damascus.
