The Fujiwara Sadashige Story

Fujiwara Sadashige is a respected name in traditional Japanese cutlery, producing hand-forged knives with an emphasis on craftsmanship and performance. The Nakiri - meaning "vegetable cutter" - is the Japanese kitchen's dedicated vegetable knife, featuring a straight, flat blade profile ideal for the push-cut and pull-cut techniques used in Japanese cooking. Unlike a single-bevel Usuba, the Nakiri's double bevel makes it accessible to both left and right-handed cooks, while still delivering the thin, precise cuts that preserve the texture and colour of vegetables. At 160mm, this example is compact and nimble - perfect for everyday prep work. Carbon steel takes a superb edge and this piece, presented in its original box, is a rare find in excellent second-hand condition.
