From one of the wildest sharpeners in the world - Mr. Fujii - we can now present these knives

Mr. Fujii does not forge himself, he only grinds. This carefully thought-out division of labor ensures that over the 50+ years he has been grinding knives, he has acquired a fantastic competence. When we write grinding in this case, it is not only the final grinding, but also what can be called ' the initial grind '. In other words, from the raw, forged blade to the finished and sharp knife.

He is not the only one in his workshop, he has three students who need at least 8 years to be able to call themselves master grinders.

The knife has a core of AUS-10, surrounded by a beautifully crafted damascus profile. AUS-10 is, although not hardened as hard in this case, an incredibly nice steel alloy. It keeps the edge sharp for a long time and the fineness of its sharpening is unmatched. The profile of the knife is relatively narrow, which makes it fly through whatever you have to go through - but not the hard stuff.

This knife is a slicer , which is mainly used for cutting meat, fish and other proteins. So not chopping tasks, but where long cutting movements and a narrow blade are needed. The narrow blade provides minimal friction and ease through the very moist proteins. Furthermore, more and more people have started to use these knives for everything, and some actually replace their chef's knife with a slicer. The cutting ability of this knife is unmatched, so if you have the opportunity to come by us in Torvehallerne, we will serve carrots and you can try it yourself!
