The FKH line from Fujiwara Kanefuse is a High Carbon series. These knives are more reactive so they require extra care to keep from oxidizing, but will form a great patina. These knives also take a steep edge and will hold it for an extended period. This series is equipped with black Pakka wood handles and the steel has a HRC rating of 60. They are an extraordinary value at this price point. The 240mm Gyuto is the most popular sized knife amongst our professional cooks. It provides the perfect length when cutting large amounts of produce or meats.
For the money I really don’t think there is a better knife. Tojiro DP are world renowned in this price range but are not Carbon. This thing gets super sharp,handle is great and knife is just comfortable. Sure it is not perfect finish but for someone who wants to try a Japanese Knife with little experience ... look no further

Fit and finish are not great with this knife,but the blade and price are great. This is a great intro into carbon knives. It developed a patina at a reasonable pace and as far as carbon goes was not "overly" reactive. The blade holds an edge well. It is a little handle heavy,but overall a good knife.

I was looking for a carbon Gyuto to play around with and this fit the bill nicely.
Sharpens up nicely and I haven’t found mine to be particularly reactive. Fit and finish on mine were better than expected for the price. The spine defiantly needed to be rounded; mine was rather uncomfortable in a pinch grip until I rounded it.
For the price I am more than happy and think its a great intro knife to both gyutos and carbon knives.

the fujiwara is a real thin blade and is easy to sharpen with the diamond steel i bought in chef knives. I use it every day in the kitchen where i work . Im glad I bought this.

out of box sharpness is ok. FF is ok. I think you get what you pay for. It’s very reactive. I’m planning to run it through some stones and see how much it can improve.

It’s very good knife. I rate 4 stars becose on my knife engraving is done by machine (laser) not like we can see on video - made by hand deep in the blade.

great knife for the price,this knife has literally kicked out a few of my other knives from my bag. had it for a few weeks now,still has a decent edge on it. left it out one day and co-worker decided to use it but didn’t dry it completely then put it on magnet strip. not a good end result as you could imagine. overall great knife,great service,looking forward to some future purchases.
