The Fuji Cutlery Brand and Japanese Traditions

Tojiro is a Japanese company with a history dating back to 1955, when it began production with a stainless steel fruit knife. Their philosophy is summed up in the words “More than just sharpness”—a knife should not only cut well, but also feel like a natural extension of the hand.

The manufacturing process combines modern machinery with hand-finished details and strict quality control. The laminated steel used is forged using the same method as that for traditional Japanese katana swords made from tamahagane.

Tips for Knife Maintenance

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