ABOUT TERUYASU FUJIWARA

Fujiwara-san is a pioneer in the new age of Japanese cutlery production. He is credited with expanding the forge welding technique to stainless steels, creating what we now call stainless clad knives. This innovation produced an incredibly popular type of knife, with all the benefits of stainless steel and carbon steel mixed into one easy-to-maintain package. With a history starting with sword-making and spanning over 150 years, the Fujiwara family transitioned to kitchen knife making post-World War II, and are known for their legendary heat treatment. "I want to create amazing and inspirational knives that appeal to the hearts of the users."
