Molybdenum is a competitively Stainless Steel that is very popular with knife producers. They are reasonably priced, easy to sharpen and have excellent corrosion-resistance. Molybdenum also incorporates Vanadium, which further improves the strength, toughness, and edge retention of the steel.

The knife bears visible impressions of the hand-forging process (round hammer dents on the blade), which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.
