Kikuichi Molybdenum Stainless 9.5 Inch GYUTO Knife

Kikuichi today is the only knife manufacturer that can trace its roots back 700 years with a heritage as a samurai swordsmith. Handcrafted in Japan, the Kikuichi molybdenum stainless steel series is one of today's popular knife collections because of its first-class quality performance and relatively moderate price-performance ratio. The performance of each knife is determined by the quality of steel. This series is made from high molybdenum steel, often called "moly steel", which allows the alloy steel to be heated to high temperatures, and a Rockwell hardness of 59. The result is an excellent knife with heavy duty steel and a true razor sharp edge that will impress, is easy to maintain, and is simple to use. Bottom line, the steel is heavy enough to provide a razor sharp edge that will make kitchen countertops a breeze and last for years. Packaged in its own gift box, this can be the perfect gift for the home or professional chef. . . Or gift it to yourself.
