  • Detail

    Summary

    Inspired by the high-performance knives used by Japanese , our exclusive Shun Fuji collection represents the very best in cutlery craftsmanship and technology. This knife is longer and wider than most utility knives, so it functions more like a do-it-all chef's knife in the kitchen. Light and agile, it features a super-sharp blade with a gently curved belly that excels for rocking cuts and mincing.

    • 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.
    • Handle has a D-shape that is comfortable for both left- and right-handed grips.
    • End cap made of polished Damascus steel.
    • Requires 160 handcrafted steps to produce each Fuji knife.

    Use & Care

    Use

    • Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
    • Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal and glass.
    • It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

    Care

    • Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
    • Avoid cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.
    • In order to maximize the life of the blade, regular honing with a Shun steel is necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly. When the time comes to sharpen this blade, we recommend using a whetstone or the Kai electric sharpener (specifically designed to sharpen Shun's 16-degree blade angle), taking it to a professional sharpener or sending it to our service center in Tualatin, Oregon, for free sharpening.
    • Store knife in safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
