The factory, based in Seki City, produces several ranges and the Molybdenum Vanadium Handmade Series is the range that offers the best value to performance. Using A High Carbon stainless steel toughened with Vanadium and rust-resistant with Molybdenum. Forging by hand, Misono has achieved a blade of extreme sharpness and one that is easy to sharpen with a Hardness of 59-60 HRC.
The Handmade Series is a fully forged single-layer construction, and as such the user MUST ensure the knife is maintained very regularly.
