The appeal of molybdenum vanadium steel knives: A thorough explanation of their characteristics and precautions!

"Molybdenum vanadium steel" is something you often see in knife sections. However, many people probably don't really know what kind of material it is.
This time, we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner the origin of this name, its features, and what to look out for when choosing one.
What is molybdenum vanadium steel?
Molybdenum vanadium steel is an alloy steel made by adding molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) to stainless steel, which improves corrosion resistance and wear resistance and extends the durability of the sharpness.
Advantages of Molybdenum Vanadium Steel Knives
Rust resistant: The addition of molybdenum and vanadium makes it particularly corrosion resistant among stainless steels, and it is resistant to rust even when used in wet areas in the kitchen or when cooking ingredients containing salt or acid.
Long-lasting blade: Because it is very hard, once sharpened it will last a long time .
Wide lineup: Because it is a material used by many manufacturers, there are a variety of models to choose from depending on your purpose and budget.
Disadvantages and points to note
Be careful of chipping: Although it has high hardness, it also has low toughness, so the blade may chip when subjected to lateral impact or when cutting hard ingredients (such as bones or frozen foods). It is necessary to choose the right knife for the purpose.
Sharpening takes a little longer: Because it is harder than a steel knife, it may take more time and effort to sharpen it with a whetstone .
On the other hand, for those who prioritize ease of maintenance, we also recommend Tashinam's "Perfect Knife." The blade is made of 100% high-quality stainless steel "V Gold No. 10," and its unique feature is that it can be easily resharpened at home .
