330mm - Keijiro Doi Blue 2 Fugubiki knife

After a long wait we finally have made the waiting list for an order of Keijiro Doi knives. This top end 330mm fugubiki knife made for Sakai Takayuki is a racehorse thin version of a yanagiba. Although originally intended to slice wafer thin pieces of fugu (blowfish) many a sushi chef has taken to this style of knife to perform surgical cuts of sashimi. It is expertly sharpened by Mr. Nomura, who only sharpens the very best yanagiba and fugubiki sashimi knives.

These fugu sashimi knives are made of Yasuki Blue 2 steel in traditional Sakai style - with a supporting layer of soft iron for strength and increased flexibility. It has an octagonal handle of ebony wood with a black buffalo horn bolster and is truly a work of art.
 

Keijiro Doi

Mr Doi has two lifetime's experience in forging traditional Japanese blades. To watch him work is a surreal experience. A baseball cap holds back a shock of wild snow white hair as he controls hammer and furnace to form a 1/2" thick billet of iron into a a perfectly formed blade ready to be refined and sharpened. With precise actions Mr Doi can make a range of blades including Yanagiba, Fugubiki, Deba and Usuba, in fact over 100 different styles, barely glancing at the patterns on the wall.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a blade forged by the hands of this Master Blacksmith.

Please note
1) This is a single bevel knife (one sided edge) for right handed users only.
2) This knife is made from carbon steel which may rust if not looked after properly. Rust can be removed with rust cleaner. See Knife Care products for details.
