The Fujitora FU-808 Chef's Knife was $94.53 when we checked it on 2026-10-12. That is below every other price we have recorded for it, across 9 weekly checks since 2026-08-18. Best for: The cook ready to step up to a thinner, sharper Japanese blade and learn to keep it that way.
Cobalt alloy steel core and 13 chrome stainless steel for the side material combine for commercial sharpness and ease of maintenance. The handle is made of laminate reinforcement material used for outdoor knives. It is resistant to aging, and the handle is not easy to fall off, and it is extremely durable for long-term use. The junction between the blade and the handle has a hygienic and durable ferrule that does not accumulate dirt.
Why we picked it
Best for: The cook ready to step up to a thinner, sharper Japanese blade and learn to keep it that way.
A VG-10 cobalt-alloy steel core gives a thinner, sharper edge than the Victorinox, on a full 210mm (8.3-inch) blade.
What we like
- + VG-10 cobalt-alloy core holds a sharper edge than the Victorinox's softer steel
- + At 0.21kg, the lightest knife in the lineup for long prep sessions
- + 13-chrome stainless side steel adds toughness without giving up hardness
- + Laminated handle resists the aging and loosening of cheaper riveted grips
Watch outs
- - Harder steel chips more easily against bone or in a dishwasher
- - Needs a whetstone to resharpen, not a pull-through sharpener
- - Plain laminate handle has none of the Wusthof's polish
