The chef's knife is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives by both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts. The characteristic knife shape, 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. Thanks to the perfect balance of the blade and handle, it allows for a rhythmic, highly effective, rocking motion on the surface when slicing or dicing various ingredients.

The Bunka is a versatile knife, perfectly suited for typical kitchen tasks. It features a wide profile, a slightly rounded belly, and a flat spine. The distinctive, inverted tanto profile gives the blade a clever and subtle tip, as well as a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. This traditional Japanese knife can successfully replace a chef's or santoku knife.

The third knife in the set is the MSC Paring 120 mm. This is a versatile knife, resembling a smaller version of a chef's knife. Its universal application, suitable wherever a chef's knife is too large, can be successfully used for peeling vegetables and fruits.

Masahiro MSC knives are designed for home users. Here you won't find many specialized knives of various shapes. We will find the necessary and most frequently used knives for working in a home kitchen: a chef's knife, a Santoku knife, and a small utility knife. The offer also includes a traditional Japanese knife for cutting vegetables – nakiri.

MBS-26 steel, which was used to produce this series of knives, is a unique alloy of carbon (0.85-1.00%), chromium (13-15%), and molybdenum, manganese, and vanadium. This material has its unique properties due to special heat treatment. The secret of the three-stage process, consisting of hardening, cooling at very low temperatures, and tempering to a hardness of 58-59 HRC, is known only to the company's owner – the Hattori family. The steel obtained in this way can be sharpened to an unprecedented sharpness, and maintaining a high cutting edge aggressiveness for a very long time is a characteristic feature of Masahiro knives, recognized by users worldwide. MBS-26 belongs to the group of so-called stainless steels, it does not react with changes in color or odor when in contact with acidic products. Keeping knives made from this alloy pristine and shiny is not a problem. Simple washing in lukewarm water with dish soap is sufficient. Just remember to wipe the knife dry after washing.

The handle, made of Pakkawood, has been perfectly profiled and finished, making the knife feel like a natural extension of the hand when held, thus making work easy and very pleasant.
