## Why we chose it

Cromova 18 is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium stainless alloy developed for Global that balances hardness and corrosion resistance in one piece of steel. Handle is hollow stainless filled with sand for balance — no plastic, no wood, no adhesives. This knife has been made in Japan by Yoshikin since 1985 without synthetic handle materials.
