Blade: Molybdenum Vanadium Stainless Steel (HRC = 58±1)

Handle: Stainless Steel

 

Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel knives are a popular choice for both professional and home cooks. They are known for their sharp blades, excellent edge retention, and durability. Molybdenum and vanadium are two elements that improve the steel's strength, hardness, and toughness. This makes molybdenum vanadium stainless steel an ideal material for knife blades.

 

Sujihiki knives are Japanese slicing knives that are similar to sashimi knives, but with a few key differences. Sujihiki knives have a longer, thinner blade that is slightly curved. This makes them ideal for slicing long, thin slices of meat, fish, and vegetables. Sujihiki knives are also known for their sharpness and can easily slice through even the toughest cuts of meat.

  • Here are some of the benefits of molybdenum vanadium stainless steel knives:                                

    • Sharpness: Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel knives are very sharp. This is because the molybdenum and vanadium in the steel help to form carbides, which are hard particles that sharpen the blade. The elongated, razor-sharp blade design ensures precision with every slice.                             
    • Edge retention: Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel knives hold an edge for a long time. This is because the molybdenum and vanadium in the steel help to prevent the blade from chipping and dulling.  Say goodbye to frequent sharpening.      
    • Durability: Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel knives are very durable. This is because the molybdenum and vanadium in the steel help to strengthen the blade and prevent it from breaking.                              
    • Corrosion resistance: Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel knives are very resistant to corrosion. This is because the molybdenum and vanadium in the steel help to form a protective oxide layer on the surface of the blade.                            

    Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel knives are a good choice for a variety of kitchen tasks, such as slicing, dicing, and chopping. They are also a good choice for cutting a variety of foods, including meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits.
