Inspired by the high-performance knives used by Japanese chefs, our exclusive Shun Fuji collection represents the very best in cutlery craftsmanship and technology. The Japanese gyuto is a chef's knife prized for its all-around versatility. Lighter and nimbler than its European counterparts, this ultra-sharp blade excels at preparing meat, fish and vegetables.
Developed for the experienced cook who prefers the lightness and razor sharpness of Eastern-style blades.
Blade core of SG2 steel is clad on each side with 80 alternating layers of nickel and stainless steel.
Resulting 161-layer blade is thin and light yet strong and hard, with a super-sharp cutting edge.
Handle is dark tagayasan wood, an extremely dense wood traditionally used in Japan to make samurai sword handles.
Double-D-shaped handle shape has finger ridges on both sides for a comfortable, ambidextrous grip.
End cap made of polished Damascus steel.
Shun Fuji collection won the “Kitchen Knife of the Year Award” at the U.S. 2011 Blade Show for the best in new product quality and design.
Requires 160 handcrafted steps to produce each Fuji knife.
Handcrafted in Japan.
