The Reigetsu line from Tojiro was formerly called Fuji Narihira. These are very popular, good bang-for-the-buck knives made with Molybdenum Vanadium blended steel. The handles are made with durable POM material that won't crack or shrink. All finishing work and inspections occur in the Sanjo City factory of Tojiro. The initial grinding and heat treatment are done in China. This is a great option for line cooks!

I'm working my way up a hierarchy of budget blades as I slowly acquire greater skill at sharpening and other maintenance tasks. This guy's light and easy to handle, more of a rocker than a slicer, nice thin blade, just an all-around dandy knife for the price. Fit and finish are fine, no problems there, it's not one of those rough-looking pieces, it's got a bit of shine to it. Seriously, it's a nice kitchen knife on the smallish side for a very low price! What more do you need to know! : )
