・About this item
This is a Nakiri knife made in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, one of Japan's leading cutlery production areas, balanced focus on sharpness and chip resistance. The core of the blade is made of VG10. By the way, Tojiro has both the F Series (Tojiro) and the FU Series (Fujitora), and this knife belongs to the FU Series (Fujitora). The F Series and FU Series knives are the same. The names, logos, sales channels, the way the sales prices are determined, and the warranty systems are just different, but the contents of the knives are exactly the same. The purple paper is a warranty card, but it can only be used in Japan.
・What is the meaning of the characters printed on the blades?
Three Japanese characters are printed on the right side of the blade. The first two characters read "Fujitora," and the last character means "work."
・What is Tojiro Corporation?
This company is located in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, a city renowned for its cutlery production and metal processing. Tojiro is a great company that offers knives sharp and durable enough to satisfy professional chefs, at the lowest possible price. In fact, many professional chefs use Tojiro knives. The company also produces many knives with excellent hygiene. Apart from the fact that it is difficult to tell the difference between the F-series and FU-series, this company is great, in my opinion. By the way, the F series and FU series knives are the same. The names, logos, sales channels, the way the sales prices are determined, and the warranty systems are just different, but the contents of the knives are exactly the same.
・Who I would recommend this knife to.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a Nakiri knife with excellent sharpness, lasting sharpness, and rust resistance. For maintenance, a whetstone is ideal, but a honing rod or pull-through sharpener can also be used.
