Choosing your Fushi knife

Which Fushi blade type should I choose for which use?

Blade choice depends on the task: a santoku (versatile) covers most everyday preparation, a nakiri (straight blade) is more efficient for julienned vegetables, a chef's knife is wider and suited to larger batches, and a paring knife is essential for small tasks (peeling, trimming).

What sets a Japanese knife apart from a Western knife?

Japanese knives like Fushi typically feature a sharper edge angle (often around 15° per side versus 20° on Western knives), a harder blade (high carbon steel) and a lighter handle. This allows for more precise cutting but requires extra care in maintenance and sharpening.

How can I maintain a Fushi blade to keep it for the long term?

Japanese blades should be hand-washed, dried immediately after use and stored away from humidity. Sharpening should be done on a waterstone to preserve the blade geometry. Avoid the dishwasher and aggressive magnetic strips.

Which Fushi knife is best as a first purchase?

For a first Japanese knife, the santoku remains the safest choice: versatile and sized for most home preparation, it provides the best introduction to Japanese-style cutting without requiring multiple specialised blades.
