Taruyasu Fujiwara: Fujiwara knives are considered to be among the best in the world! The Fujiwara family began making blades over 130 years ago. At first they made swords for the army, but demand for them declined after the end of World War II. The company now focuses mainly on knives, which have made the forge world famous.
