A semi-stainless workhorse. The Hammer Tone can do it all, great for professional chefs, home cooks and everyone in between.

Frustrated? Learn more about why Japanese knives are frequently out of stock.

I’ve always loved blades like this with a hammered ‘tsuchime’ texture and a dark ‘kurouchi’ finish because they show the love that went into making the knife and just looks so badass. This particular blade is forged from SLD steel, which takes a crazy edge and holds it super well but isn’t high maintenance like some Japanese steels. Just wash by hand and wipe it dry to avoid rust!

Fujimoto knives sport a classic Japanese handle, called a ‘wa handle,’ that puts most of the knife’s weight in the blade.  While it may seem a little unusual to some, this design allows the knife to do more of the work and is super comfortable once you get used to it. 

Fujimoto blades are crafted by a team of expert craftspeople, and each step is hand-done by a specialist in their field to create a consistent, affordable, high-performance knife. The result is an incredible Japanese blade in a traditional style that is super reliable and doesn’t break the bank.

About the Shape - Under utilized in the western kitchen, the nakiri’s flatter blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife touches the cutting board at once, you won't be turning the vegetable into an 'accordion', still connected like a paper doll after you've cut them. The added weight of the blade allow it to fall through food more easily while you chop, so the knife does more of the work for you!

A NOTE ABOUT RUST

Semi-stainless steel is a compromise between the edge retention of carbon steel
and the rust resistance of stainless. This steel will rust if you let it. To avoid “bad” rust (orange rust) Wipe the knife dry with a dry cloth after use. By this we mean: between cutting and putting the knife down, wipe it dry. Overtime the blade will begin to protect itself with an oxide layer (grey to dark grey “good” rust), this will slow the reaction time but not inhibit the rust entirely. Maintain the good habit of drying off your knife.

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End-grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe mineral oil or beeswax.  

• If you see orange rust, remove it. The scrubby side of a sponge can do the trick.  If it’s still not coming off try baking soda and water mixed into a paste or a product called Barkeeper’s Friend.  

STORING  

• Protect the edge; for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or travel case. 

• A convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good-ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected. So can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, keep the edge from touching anything else.

"Our recent purchase of the Fujimoto Hammer Tone SLD Nakiri knife has improved veggie prep more than I expected. The length (165mm) is the right length and the blunt end improves knife safety while working with small frequent cuts used in veggie prep. The sharpness of the knife is unbelievable.
