Masahiro BWH Bread knife 240mm [11077]

Masahiro BWH Bread knife 240 mm [11077]

The Masahiro BWH Bread knife with a 240 mm long serrated blade was designed for slicing bread. It easily handles hard bread crusts and soft interiors, providing aesthetic slices with minimal crumbs. Some chefs also use this knife to slice chocolate, tomatoes, or citrus fruits.

BWH is a knife series created 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 perfected by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience, making Masahiro knives unprecedentedly sharp.

The handle is made of wood called Black Pakkawood, whose numerous 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 two 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 than a symmetrical blade, making it much sharper.
