The 440 Molybdenum Steel Series represents a step up in performance within the lineup of Misono, offering enhanced edge retention while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance.
The blades are crafted from 440 molybdenum stainless steel, a harder and more wear-resistant material than standard molybdenum steel. This results in improved sharpness retention and a more refined cutting feel, making the series particularly well-suited for professional environments where knives are used intensively over long periods.
Like all Misono Western-style knives, this series features double-beveled blades and full-tang construction for balance, control, and stability. The design remains intentionally simple and utilitarian, prioritizing performance and reliability over visual flair.
Balancing durability, cutting performance, and manageable upkeep, the 440 Molybdenum Steel Series is an excellent choice for chefs and serious home cooks who want a dependable professional knife with a longer-lasting edge, without moving into more delicate or high-maintenance steels.
