Masahiro BWH 140_1101 Knife Set

A Masahiro set in a decorative package, consisting of BWH series knives: Chef 210 mm and Paring 90 mm. The Chef's knife is the most popular and frequently used knife for kitchen work, and its smaller version – the Paring 90 mm knife – perfectly complements it. Moreover, everything packed in a beautiful box makes for an excellent gift set.

The characteristic shape of the chef's knife, originating from French cuisine, is used for many kitchen tasks, and the name "chef's knife" emphasizes that it is an indispensable tool for every cook. The knife is very light, and the handle fits securely in both small and large hands. The perfect balance of the blade and handle allows for a rhythmic, highly effective, rocking motion on the surface when slicing or dicing various ingredients.

Paring is a knife designed for peeling and processing small products such as fruits and vegetables. Its shape resembles a miniature chef's knife, and the sharp tip allows for easy maneuvering.

BWH is a knife series developed based on the MV-H line. Molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon stainless steel MBS-26 was also used, which underwent a three-stage hardening process to achieve a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Each blade has been refined by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience, making Masahiro knives exceptionally sharp.

The handle is made of wood called Black Pakkawood, whose many layers were compressed under high pressure and high temperature into a uniform, highly durable, moisture and water-resistant material. The wooden handle with an antibacterial coating is as easy to clean as plastic and is secured with three perfectly placed and polished rivets.

Knives in this series are sharpened on both sides, but unlike most Western manufacturers, Masahiro sharpens them asymmetrically 80/20. This means that the cutting edge is shifted to one side of the knife's axis. The advantages of asymmetrical sharpening include a cutting edge that is up to 35% thinner.
