Features

240 mm Double-Bevel Gyuto: The exact FU-809 catalog specification lists a 240 mm blade with a double-bevel edge.

DP Cobalt-Alloy Clad Blade: The cutting core is cobalt-alloy steel, clad with 13-chrome stainless steel.

365 mm Overall Length: The full knife measures 365 mm from tip to handle end.

240 g Product Weight: The current exact-model catalog lists the knife itself at 240 g.

Metal Bolster and Reinforced Handle: The construction uses an 18-8 stainless bolster and a laminated reinforced handle.

Fujitora Distribution-Channel Mark: Tojiro states that FU-numbered Fujitora knives use the same materials as its Tojiro and TOJIRO PRO products but carry a different mark and use a separate distribution channel.

Benefits

Make long cuts with a 240 mm blade: The gyuto's verified 240 mm blade provides length for slicing larger ingredients and portioning food on a suitable cutting board.

Buy the exact model, not a look-alike: Model FU-809, its product dimensions, materials and Fujitora blade mark have all been verified against current Japanese product evidence and the exact-model catalog.

Combine a cobalt-alloy core with stainless cladding: The verified blade construction pairs the cutting core with 13-chrome stainless outer material.

Choose a knife made by an established Japanese cutlery maker: Tojiro was established in 1953 and manufactures knives in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata.

Use the same edge format from either side: The catalog identifies FU-809 as double bevel, so it is not a one-sided, hand-specific Japanese edge.

Work with a substantial 240 g format: The 240 g catalog weight and full bolster give shoppers a concrete sense of the knife's physical format before purchase.

How to Use

Use the gyuto for general slicing and food preparation on a wood or plastic cutting board.

Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food and hard surfaces that can damage a kitchen knife.

Hand wash with mild detergent, rinse, and dry immediately after use.

Store with the cutting edge protected and keep the knife out of children's reach.

Sharpen the double-bevel edge with an appropriate whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed.

Who Is This For

Product Story

Tojiro began in 1953 in Tsubame, Niigata, and started making kitchen knives in 1955. The company continues to manufacture knives in the Tsubame-Sanjo metalworking region.

Fujitora is Tojiro's wholesale-channel mark. Tojiro's current FAQ explains that FU-numbered Fujitora knives use the same materials as Tojiro and TOJIRO PRO products, while the mark and after-sales channel differ.

FU-809 is the 240 mm gyuto in that range: a double-bevel, 240 g knife with a cobalt-alloy core and 13-chrome stainless cladding.
