The Teruyasu Fujiwara workshop in Tokyo continues a knife making tradition dating back to 1870. The workshop maintains its heritage of traditional Japanese sword-making techniques applied to kitchen knife production. They are particularly noted for their distinctive heat treatment of Shirogami #1 (White #1) and Aogami Super (Blue Super) steels, following their philosophy of "honmono no kiremi" (本物の切れ味) - creating blades with enduring sharpness.
