Dimensions	Overall 295 mm, blade 170 mm
Weight	About 150 g (our estimate; not stated on the listing)

A cobalt-core three-layer blade for lasting sharpness
We make the blade with a cobalt alloy steel core, between outer layers of 13-chrome stainless. The hard core holds a keen edge while the outer layers resist rust; owners say it cuts well, and one warns that the heel can cut your hand at once if you are careless.
An all-stainless handle with an integrated bolster
The handle and bolster are one piece of 18-8 stainless steel, with no joint where dirt or moisture can collect. That makes the knife hygienic and strong, and it is easy to wash and keep clean for everyday use in a busy kitchen.
A tornado-pattern grip that stays secure
The twisted ridges on the handle give your fingers something to hold, so the grip stays secure even when your hands are wet. One owner says it was the easiest knife to use among all that they have tried, and another praises the size and the sharpness.
A light, balanced all-round size and weight
The knife is 295 mm overall with a 170 mm blade and we estimate its weight at about 150 g, a size for meat, fish and vegetables. Its double-edged blade suits left- and right-handed cooks, and a simple sharpener is enough to bring the edge back when it softens.
Honest notes on what to expect from it
Most owners are delighted, but one found the knife too light, and another warns that it is so sharp the heel can cut your hand if you are careless. We list the facts plainly, so you can judge whether a light, keen santoku suits you before you order.
A Japanese cutlery maker since 1953
We were founded in 1953 in Tsubame, Niigata, and our DP series has won Good Design awards. We have exhibited in Frankfurt since 2004, and this Fujitora DP santoku is made in Japan to the standards of the professional kitchen.

Who Is This For

The Value-Minded Serious Cook: You want a knife that treats cooking seriously. A tired old blade that needs sharpening every few weeks, or a handle with a joint where dirt hides, takes the pleasure out of preparing a meal, which is the tool's fault, not yours. Our Fujitora DP santoku gives you a cobalt alloy core between 13-chrome stainless layers, an all-stainless 18-8 handle with an integrated bolster and a tornado grip pattern, in a light knife with a 170 mm blade. It is made in Japan, so one serious santoku can serve your kitchen for years.

Product Story

We were founded in 1953 in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture, first making farm-tool blades and then, from 1955, kitchen knives. Our DP series with a bolster was recognised with Good Design awards in 1980 and again in 1996, and we have exhibited at Ambiente in Frankfurt since 2004. This Fujitora DP santoku follows the same approach, with a cobalt alloy core, an all-stainless handle and Japanese make.

Comparison

Quick Answer

Our Fujitora DP santoku has a cobalt alloy core between 13-chrome stainless layers and an all-stainless 18-8 handle with a tornado grip. It is 295 mm overall with a 170 mm blade, is made in Japan, and we estimate about 150 g.

The One-Knife Home Cook

You want one knife for everything. One owner says it quietly became their main knife, handling fruit and vegetables too, and it is light and a favourite to reach for.

The Restaurant-Proven Cook

You run a kitchen. An owner of 28 years in the restaurant trade calls it a big hit, light and sharp, and wants to take good care of it.

The Home-Sharpening Cook

You maintain your own edge. An owner says the cobalt core is fairly easy to resharpen on an ordinary whetstone, so keeping the knife keen at home is within reach.

The Hygiene-Minded Cook

You like a knife that stays clean. The handle and bolster are all stainless steel and the listing marks it dishwasher safe, though hand washing is gentlest on the edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this knife made?

Our Fujitora DP santoku FU-895 is made in Japan. We were founded in 1953 in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture, one of Japan's best-known cutlery regions, and we ship every knife directly from Japan. The origin is also listed in the specifications, so you know exactly where your knife comes from before you order it from us.

What is the blade made of?

The blade has a cobalt alloy steel core, between outer layers of 13-chrome stainless steel. The handle and bolster are one piece of 18-8 stainless steel. The knife is 295 mm overall with a 170 mm blade, and we estimate about 150 g because the listing does not state the weight, with a double-edged profile that suits either hand in the kitchen.

Is the handle slippery?

No. The handle has a twisted tornado pattern of ridges that gives your fingers a secure hold, even when your hands are wet. It is also one piece with the bolster, so there is no joint where dirt can collect. Wash it by hand, dry it and keep the pattern clean with a soft brush.

How sharp is it?

Owners say it cuts well, and one says it is so sharp that the heel cuts your hand at once if you are careless, so handle it with respect. Another found it too light, while a restaurant owner calls it a big hit. A simple sharpener or a whetstone keeps the edge keen for years of daily cooking.

What is the FU series?

The listing notes that the Fujitora FU model number series is a mass-produced line made for wide distribution, so it is more common than the specialist F series. It uses the all-stainless, cobalt-core construction described here, and we ship it directly from Japan with the model number FU-895 so you can match it to the manufacturer's own catalogue and check the specifications.

How is this knife shipped and when will it arrive?

We ship directly from Japan, and delivery takes 7-14 business days. Any item with a shelf life ships with a minimum of 6 months remaining. Tracking is provided so you can follow your parcel from our shipping point to your door. Your knife is packed carefully so the blade arrives safely and ready for your kitchen.
