This is the second Fujiwara FKM I've bought. It did not disappoint and I can't recommend it enough for someone looking for a large, reasonably priced Western handled gyuto.The FKM meets all the basic requirements for a good gyuto. It takes an edge easily, it holds an edge pretty well, and it's thin enough to move fluently through product. It also stands up to abuse remarkably well. I use it pretty roughly, including when mincing herbs, and lend it out to interns without concern. Honing this knife is even moderately effective.The FKM also features a surprisingly consistent distal taper that gives it a great tip. Considering the grind I'm not sure how Fujiwara makes a profit on these knives.Unlike the other knives in this line the 270mm gyuto's handle is a bit larger than average. People with small hands might prefer the Tojiro DP 270mm gyuto, though with my average sized hands it's not at all an issue.Was this rating helpful to you?
