Teruyasu Fujiwara is a trained swordsmith, and makes some of the coolest knives in Japan. He is known for hardening his knives exceptionally hard, and they also cut like a dream. In addition, he was the first to start making a "finger notch" in his knives, so that when you pinch up on the knife, your middle finger rests safely and comfortably inside the finger notch.

The Denka series is built in 3 layers with Aogami Super as core steel, surrounded by stainless cladding. They are finished with a beautiful tsuchime/kurouchi finish on the top of the blade. The handle is western style, and made of black pakka wood.

Aogami Super is a carbon steel, and is in the category of so-called blue steel, and "Super" is the hardest of these alloys. Aogami Super is one of the carbon steels that can be hardened the hardest, and for this reason it keeps its sharpness for a really long time. However, it is also relatively easy to sharpen compared to stainless knives.

The knife here is a so-called utility knife of 15 cm. After the chef's knife, it is probably the most universal knife of the common types, and can also replace a chef's knife in many ways. It is not quite as tall as a chef's knife and is also shorter, making it very easy to handle. It can be used for slicing vegetables and cutting smaller pieces of meat - and it is fantastically good for trimming meat as well as finer cutting tasks in fruit and vegetables.
