This is a Nakiri vegetable knife from Fuji Cutlery, a double-edged, flat-bladed Japanese knife made for chopping vegetables. The blade is molybdenum vanadium steel, chosen for sharpness and durability, and is finished to resist rust. The handle is magnolia (honoki) wood, with a collar made of polyethylene and polypropylene resin.
The blade measures 160 mm (6.3 in) long, with an overall length of 300 mm (11.8 in) and a weight of 125 g (4.4 oz / 0.28 lb).
Fuji Cutlery was founded as the sales company for Tojiro, a cutlery maker based in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, and carries the same focus on sharpness and usability in a more casual, original brand. This knife is made in Japan.
