The Fuwa series from Fuji Cutlery is a lineup of Japanese kitchen knives made in Japan, including deba style knives for breaking down fish and yanagiba style knives for slicing sashimi.
Each blade is made of stainless cutlery steel, which resists rust better than traditional carbon steel and is easy to care for, making the Fuwa series an approachable choice for anyone trying a Japanese style knife for the first time.
The handle is natural wood with a polypropylene resin ferrule, chosen for light weight and a comfortable feel. Its rounded shape sits securely in the hand for a safe grip while cutting. Because wood absorbs moisture, drying the handle thoroughly after washing will help it last longer.
This listing offers the Fuwa series in a range of sizes, including a ko deba, several deba lengths, and two yanagiba lengths, so you can choose the knife that suits the way you cook.
