The first thing you'll notice about this knife is that it's got quite a bit going on visually. The Fujin's hammered texture makes the blade sparkle and the turquoise accent on the handle gives it a classy touch of color. The looks alone make the Fujin an excellent gift knife based on my family members' positive comments. But there's also the added benefit of the stainless SG2 core steel for a worry-free and excellent edge retention experience. Coupled with the fact that it's forged by a well-known blacksmith makes the Fujin a solid purchase for yourself or someone else.
