Fujiwara Kanefusa is one of Japan's most enduring knife-making names, with a lineage stretching back centuries in the Seki region - Japan's capital of blade-making.

Why This Knife Works

Molybdenum steel is a practical and underrated choice - a stainless alloy that offers excellent corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and easy sharpening. It is the steel of choice for busy kitchens where maintenance time is limited but performance still matters. At 150mm, this Petty sits in the most useful range for a utility knife - long enough to slice small proteins and citrus, short enough for in-hand peeling and intricate prep. A vintage Fujiwara Kanefusa in original box is a genuine find for the collector or the cook who appreciates a well-made Japanese utility knife.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry after washing to maintain the blade and handle
• Sharpen on a whetstone or ceramic rod as needed
• Hone regularly to maintain the edge between sharpenings
• Store in a knife roll or protective sleeve - never loose in a drawer
