{"title":"Fuji Cutlery","description":"\u003cp\u003eFuji Cutlery is a subsidiary of TOJIRO, making traditional Japanese blade shapes in molybdenum vanadium stainless steel rather than a hard clad core. Softer than VG10 at around 58 HRC, which means less edge retention but quicker recovery on a stone and more tolerance for a busy kitchen. Blades are ground and heat treated offshore, then finished, sharpened and inspected at the Sanjo City factory in Niigata.
