Our Special Craftsman Team in Osaka specializes in making only the highest-grade Japanese traditional-style knives, which can only be produced using time-consuming hand work and extraordinary attention to detail during every step of handcrafting process.
The blade is made from solid Swedish stainless steel (HRc. 60), which is well known for its purity and fine grain structure. The combination of high quality steel and finely sharpened blade means these knives are particularly suitable for precise, detailed cutting tasks.
About our special Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Limited Sweden Stainless Steel Wa Series “Hammer Forged” Wa Sujihiki:
Our Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Craftsmen explained to us that, over 10 years ago, a highly respected Master Forge-Smith was specially chosen to forge a small number of mono-steel / solid steel blades. We decided to offer these rare blades to our customers as a special limited edition, hammer forged version of our Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Sweden Stainless Steel Series Wa Gyuto.
Using the traditional hammer forging process, the Master Forge-Smith carefully shapes the blade from a solid bar of Swedish Stainless Steel, allowing him to maximize the desirable characteristics of the steel. As you know, it is currently very rare to see Hammer Forged Mono-Steel blades, unfortunately, this means there will be a very limited quantity of Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Limited Hammer Forged Sweden Stainless Steel Wa Series knives available for purchase.
The Japanese traditional-style octagonal handle is made from magnolia wood and has a water buffalo horn ferrule.
The long, narrow, graceful blade of the Sujihiki is particularly useful for trimming away sinew and fat from meat, finely slicing meat or boneless fish, or for filleting and skinning fish. The long blade allows the meat or fish to be cut in one single drawing motion, from heel to tip.
