Flagship of Ichimonji

The FV10 Series has long been one of the most popular and enduring lines from Ichimonji.

Crafted from VG10 stainless steel, regarded as one of the finest stainless steels available, each blade is carefully tempered without sacrificing hardness. The steel is straightened by hand to correct distortion, then finely thinned on whetstones. This process represents the very essence of Japanese craftsmanship and precision.

Over the years, this series has become a landmark achievement in stainless steel knife-making, overcoming the long-standing challenges of stainless blades. Many professional chefs have fallen in love with its sharpness and reliability, often repurchasing or collecting the entire series. Today, it stands as Ichimonji’s most popular Western-style knife line.
