Molybdenum Vanadium Stainless steel
MV is a high carbon, low chromium stainless steel that has proven, over time, to be a very good compromise between toughness, edge retention and resistance to corrosion.
It has added Vanadium to give the steel more hardness. This steel is very easy to sharpen to a razor edge, but it will dull relatively quickly compared to high-carbon steel.

Description
Nakiri
Nakiri Knife (菜切り包丁 – pronounced: Nakiri Bōchō) literally translated from Japanese means ‘knife for cutting greens’ or ‘leaf-cutter’. Most Japanese households make use of the Nakiri and in general, it is loved by vegetarians.
The Nakiri’s broad rectangular blade allows for quick and efficient chopping, dicing and mincing of large vegetables. The height of the blade also allows cutting through harder root vegetables with a straight down chopping motion. The Nakiri may also be turned upside down to use the spine of the blade to scrape ingredients across the chopping board without damaging the blade. The blade profile with its straight, flat edge works best when using an up and down chopping motion.
The Nakiri knife has a long, thin, and rectangular-shaped blade with a straight edge, and a flat, blunt tip. The Nakiri’s shape can be mistaken for a cleaver but be warned that it is not made for heavy-duty work like cutting bones or frozen foods. The thinness of the blade also ensures that delicate vegetables can be cleanly cut without ripping the skin, and helps to achieve crisp edges on each slice.
Best for: Vegetables

I bought this knife a few days ago, and I am very happy with it. It is well made, feels very nice in the hand, and is super sharp ! It cuts like a dream, and I think it is good value for the money !

Great beginner friendly Japanese machine forged knife, very sharp out of the box. Great introduction to the Nakiri shape if you are not use to using one.

Excellent knife for cutting vegetables, really good option for anyone starting off in the cooking business. Almost heading over for the first sharpening. Very friendly and helpful staff.
