The Reigetsu line from TOJIRO was formerly called Fuji Narihira. These are very popular, good bang-for-the-buck knives made with Molybdenum Vanadium blended steel. The handles are made with durable POM material that won't crack or shrink. All finishing work and inspections occur in the Sanjo City factory of TOJIRO. The initial grinding and heat treatment are done in China. This is a great option for line cooks!

Great Blade - Rough Handle, January 21, 2026Posted By: Tony
Was looking for a softer steel knife as a beater, and this knife if perfect. Good size and shape, came very sharp, and doesn't have to be treated as carefully as other Japanese knives.
Only complaint in the handle quality is a little lacking. The butt of the handle is not flush. The tang pokes out past the handle and can catch things. Doesn't affect much, but slightly disappointing.
Overall still a great knife. If you are just looking for a knife to cook with, and not interested in harder steel and the maintenance that comes with it, just pick this up and know your knife is nicer than 99% of home cooks.

I wasn’t expecting much for the price, and upon handling I thought it was too light, but it’s become one of my go-to knives. Because of its very thin profile and good out of the box sharpness, it’s very easy and quick to make thin cuts on onions, peppers, etc. I would absolutely recommend it for someone looking for a lightweight knife that cuts well and precisely. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with the typical Japanese chef knife box.
