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 wasn’t expecting much for the price, and upon handling I thought it was too light, but it’s become one of my go-to knives. Because of its very thin profile and good out of the box sharpness, it’s very easy and quick to make thin cuts on onions, peppers, etc. I would absolutely recommend it for someone looking for a lightweight knife that cuts well and precisely. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with the typical Japanese chef knife box.
