Fujiwara Kanefusa Molybdenum Stainless
<< Please note that the conventional series name "Fujiwara Kanefusa MO series" was changed to the "SOUMA MO series" because they updated their manufacturerer's name but the blades, edge and quality are kept the same. >>
Fujiwara Kanefusa MO series (so-called FKM) is made of AUS-8 Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel, a popular Japanese stainless steel that realizes rust resistance and sharp cutting edges with surprisingly easy re-sharpening.
The black pakkawood handles with a stainless steel bolster provides good blade balance and a fine grip.
We recommend Fujiwara MO series to first-time buyers of Japanese knives because of their reliable quality and affordable pricing.
The series has good strength, cutting performance and ease of maintenance, which are some of most important features for first-time users of Japanese knives.
