Heritage

Misono founded its workshop in Seki City in 1935 with a clear focus on Western-style double-bevel knives for professional kitchens. Their molybdenum steel line was developed to offer a more accessible, corrosion-resistant alternative to their premium Swedish steel - making high-performance Japanese craftsmanship available to a wider professional audience. Molybdenum improves the steel's resistance to rust and oxidation without significantly compromising sharpness or grindability. The Sujihiki profile - literally "flesh slicer" - features a long, narrow blade with minimal heel height, designed to glide through large cuts of meat or whole fish in a single drawing motion, producing clean surfaces free from tearing or compression marks.
