TF (Teruyasu Fujiwara) has quite an enthusiastic following on KKF. Wanting to find out for myself I picked up a Morihei fine finish version from ryanjams on BST. White #1 core steel with soft iron cladding and a karouchi finish. Pakka western style handle. Blade length 248mm, edge length 246mm, 53mm deep at the heel and 2.84mm thick also at the heel. 237 gms. Here’s a few pics ...

Continuing my learning with my new Anova Precision Oven I picked up a cheap blade roast and prepped it for a 16hr sous vide cook in the Anova. After 14 hours at 135F and 100% steam the TF revealed a roast finished like this.

A little rare for my taste but a nice crust, though. two more hours at 155F and 100% steam yielded this result for the TF.

Thoughts about the TF? ... Perfect for a working kitchen. I love the grind and steel. The balance is perfect for me in a pinch grip. White #1 sharpens beautifullly and requires only the occasional stropping/steel to maintain the edge. F&F ... the blade is great ... the rest suitable for a busy kitchen. It won’t be leaving my collection and I’ll enjoy using it for the next few months. Oh yes .... the roast finished perfectly, nice and tender.
Does the morihei FF come in two versions? This one is KU - but the FF that I got is not KU - so that means there must be 2 versions of the Morihei FF knife
