About the Fuji Cutlery brand and Japanese tradition

Tojiro is a Japanese company that has specialized in the production of high-quality kitchen knives since 1955. They started out with a stainless steel fruit knife and gradually became a globally recognized manufacturer.

Their philosophy—which goes beyond sharpness—means that every knife must not only cut with precision but also feel like a natural extension of the hand. Tojiro combines Japanese artisanal traditions with the capabilities of modern manufacturing.

The most commonly used technique in their production is the forging of laminated steel—following the same principle used to forge the traditional Japanese katana sword from tamahagane. Hand-finishing and strict quality control are an integral part of every knife.

Tips for Proper Maintenance

Cut only on a plastic or wooden cutting board—not bamboo, not glass, not porcelain.
Do not apply lateral force or twisting to the cutting edge.
Sharpen regularly—it's easier to keep the blade razor-sharp than to have to give it a major sharpening after it has become severely dull.
Do not wash in the dishwasher.
The knife is intended solely for use in the kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a petty knife, and what is it used for?

Is the Fuji Cutlery FC-1620 knife dishwasher-safe?

No, the Fuji Cutlery FC-1620 knife should not be washed in the dishwasher. Harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the blade and the handle. It is recommended to wash the knife by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry it immediately.

How do I properly sharpen a petty kitchen knife?

It is recommended that you maintain the blade regularly with a sharpener or whetstone. It is easier to keep the knife razor-sharp by sharpening it frequently than to perform a major sharpening after it has become severely dull. The FC-1620’s blade has a double-sided symmetrical bevel, which makes it easy to sharpen on both sides. Avoid coarse abrasives that could damage the fine edge.
