The Fujiwara family started as blacksmiths in 1870, first forging farm tools, then swords. Many blacksmiths these days make a blade with a carbon steel core laminated with an outer layer of stainless steel for a high-performance knife with lower maintenance; this guy was one of the first to develop this technique. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis blade is made from Shirogami steel, called ‘white carbon’ in English, and while it requires care to avoid rust, it gets sharper than just about any other knife steel out there. The rough ‘nashiji’ finish is inspired by the skin of an Asian pear and shows off the hard work and care that goes into making his knives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt Knifewear, saying “I own a Fujiwara” is basically a secret handshake that tells everyone you have fantastic taste in knives.

Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths.
