What made you use our Fujiwara knives?
Although I have had a long career as a cook, I have never had any knife about which I can say, “this is the one for me!” The knives that given to me or that I purchased myself are just ordinary ones that you can get at the Tsukiji market. Then, I just happened to hear about the all hand-forged knives of Fujiwara Edged Tool Craft K.K., and I immediately visited the shop in Himonya. Since then, I have been using your knives.
What is your impression of Fujiwara knives after using them?
Sorry for my clichéd expressions, but … - Sharpness - Easy to use - Corrosion resistance I think the above 3 aspects are all I wanted. Another aspect to note is that it was my first time using a knife with which I could imagine the creator’s efforts time, and intentions; hence, it has significantly changed my awareness regarding kitchen knives.
Vegetables still look fresh after I cut them. Or I can keep the sharpness of the materials, etc. I learned that this is exactly what a great sharp knife can do. Another aspect to note may be related to my expression, specifically [I could imagine the creator’s efforts, time, and intentions]. On occasions such as when I almost cut my fingers, I could feel that Mr. Fujiwara was telling me to “be careful!” and I can feel he is encouraging me. It is my pleasure to use these knives everyday.
