Masahiro MSC Nakiri Knife 160mm [11054]

MSC Nakiri 160 mm is a versatile tool for slicing, dicing, cubing, and finely chopping fresh produce. The knife has a narrow cleaver shape and also resembles a traditional Japanese  Usuba knife  , but unlike the single-bevel  Usuba knife , the  Nakiri knife  is sharpened on both sides. Its very thin cutting edge glides through ingredients with the slightest resistance. The knife's weight, though light, is sufficient for deep cuts into tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables or fruits. The large blade surface is often used to transfer chopped ingredients directly from the cutting board to a pan, pot, or other container. 

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

MBS-26 steel , 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 possesses its unique properties due to a special heat treatment. The secret of the three-stage process, consisting of hardening, cooling at very low temperatures, and tempering to 58-59  HRC  , is known only to the company owner - the  Hattori family . The steel obtained in this way can be sharpened to an unprecedented sharpness, and maintaining the high aggressiveness of the cutting edge 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 steel, which does not react with changes in color or odor when in contact with acidic products. Keeping knives made from this alloy impeccable and shiny is not a problem. A simple wash in lukewarm water with dish soap is sufficient. Just remember to wipe the knife dry after washing.

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