Fujiwara Kanefusa FKM knives are a range of basic utilitarian knives that are made from AUS-8 Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel - A popular Japanese stainless steel with good cutting performance, rust resistance and ease of re-sharpening.
The knives have comfortable black pakkawood handles and a stainless steel bolster, which provides good blade balance and a fine grip.
We recommend Fujiwara FKM knives to first-time buyers of Japanese knives because of their reliable quality and affordable pricing. They have good strength, cutting performance and ease of maintenance, which are some of most important features for first-time users of Japanese knives.
A stylish and attractive alternative version, which has a wine-colored pakkawood handle, is also available for your consideration.
Important Notice Regarding the Discontinuation of Fujiwara Kanefusa Branded Knives
We apologize and regret to inform you that the kitchen knife maker Fujiwara Kanefusa has decided to discontinue their "Fujiwara Kanefusa" branded knives once current inventory of these knives has been sold. Until recently, a relative of the Fujiwara Kanefusa Swordsmith family had been running the “Fujiwara Kanefusa” kitchen knife company, but they decided to retire. Simple, classic, practical, handcrafted and moderately priced, Fujiwara Kanefusa kitchen knives have enjoyed the widespread support and trust of our customers for many years.
The passionate, next generation craftsman at the "Fujiwara Kanefusa" kitchen knife company have decided to continue handcrafting the same kitchen knives —maintaining the same important concepts of Simplicity, Classic Design, Practicality, Craftsmanship and Moderate Price— under a new brand name, 想磨 SOUMA.
The new name 想磨 SOUMA succinctly communicates the craftsman’s passion and conceptual vision for the brand: Carefully thinking about how to develop and improve skills and experience, and thinking about how to improve knife quality.
Fujiwara Kanefusa brand kitchen knives will now be sold under the new 想磨 SOUMA brand name.
