Bought this knife to try out the 240mm gyuto size and I think I’ll stick to 270mm or 300mm. Made of one piece of SK-4 steel (same as the Hiromoto HCs), with a stainless steel bolster.
Because of its smoother satin finish on the blade, patina builds up quite slowly and very colourfully.
Slightly thicker than the Hiromoto HC very slightly, but then again Hiromoto did make the HC one of those cool thin knives. Fujiwara fit a very nice large handle with pakkawood scales, kinda like a Hiromoto HC with a rounded Tojiro DP handle.
I’m going to sell off this knife to get its 270mm cousin to replace my 270mm Hiromoto HC in the future or as my HCS backup knife. Before I sell it, it has got to get a makeover with probably Red Morell scales.
