Masahiro BWH Chef's Knife 180mm [14010]

Masahiro BWH Chef's Knife, with a blade length of 180 mm, is one of the most popular kitchen knives chosen by both professional chefs and amateurs. Originating from French cuisine, the characteristic shape of the knife 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. Thanks to the perfect balance of the blade and handle, it allows for a rhythmic, highly efficient, rocking motion across the surface when slicing or dicing various ingredients. 

BWH is a series of knives 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 perfected by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience, giving Masahiro knives unprecedented sharpness.

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 three perfectly placed and polished rivets.

Knives in this series are sharpened on two 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.
