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. If you allow the edge of this magnificent knife to go totally dull it can be harder to restore to full sharpness than a laminated or Damascus blade. However, being tempered slightly softer than most other JKC knives it is not difficult to keep razor-sharp.
The handles are laminated hardwood with Silicon injection for durability.

The shape is basically a small Sujihiki or slicing knife. As the name suggests it is a multi-function knife used for the preparation of vegetables and precise cutting of meat and fish. The slim profile presents a smaller area to fatty, oily, and starchy foods where a wider blade would create a stronger vacuum and ‘stick’ more to the food.
Function – Multipurpose for preparing all food groups. A favourite knife of many home cooks who are uncomfortable with large blades.
Normal length – 150mm
Tip: This knife is also used for carving petite roasts, filleting and skinning fish as well as careful dissection of poultry without hitting bones. An extremely useful size for any kitchen.
