Fuji knife

The Higonokami was created in 1896 by Japanese blacksmiths looking for a commercial substitute for samurai swords. The knife is traditionally intended for all minor domestic work.

In 2018, the FUJI KNIFE was designed by young Japanese designers passionate about ancestral local know-how. They have modernized this traditional knife. The bottle opener function which is added to the brass handle is an innovation for this type of knife.

To ensure the sustainability of the art of Japanese cutlery, the manufacturer MUJUN has built a training factory for these artisans on the company's premises.

 

Very original design:

Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and it goes without saying that it is a significant symbol of beauty for the Japanese.  

Stylized with an Ukiyo-e touch, a beautiful landscape seen from the Miho Peninsula - a World Heritage Site - is engraved.

Part of the drawn landscape gives its shape to the bottle opener. A design that combines beauty and practicality.

Blade durability:

The blade has a three-layer structure, Shirogami (white steel) at the core of the blade, covered with soft iron, sharpened on both sides (bilateral bevel). Shirogami steel is renowned for its perfect balance between hardness and easy sharpening.

The blade may oxidize if it remains in prolonged contact with a humid environment. It should therefore be wiped after use and, if necessary, occasionally coated with camellia or olive oil.
