This knife is part of Fuji Cutlery's Reigetsu Mei series, a renewed version of a long running line of Japanese kitchen knives. The blade is made of molybdenum vanadium steel, a steel with few impurities that holds its edge well while resisting wear and rust.
The handle is a durable bolstered design made of POM resin, secured with three rivets through a full tang, built to stand up to daily professional use. The bolster and tang are finished in 18-8 stainless steel.
The Reigetsu Mei lineup covers several knife shapes and blade lengths, so you can choose the one that suits the food and task at hand. This listing offers petty, santoku, gyuto, and sujihiki styles across a range of sizes.
Made in Japan.
