Masahiro BWH 140_1101_BB Knife Set
The Masahiro set comes 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 tasks, while its smaller version – the Paring 90 mm knife – perfectly complements it. Moreover, everything packaged 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 lightweight, and the handle fits securely in both small and large hands. Thanks to the perfect balance of the blade and handle, it allows for a rhythmic, highly efficient, rocking motion on the surface when cutting or chopping 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 series of knives created based on the MV-H line model.
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 incredibly sharp.
The handle is made of wood called Black Pakkawood, whose numerous layers were compressed under high pressure and high temperature into a solid, very 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 at 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 than a symmetrically sharpened knife.
