Description

Masahiro MV Chef knife 210 mm [13711]

Masahiro MV Chef knife, with a blade length of  210 mm,  is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives 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 between the blade and the handle, it allows for a rhythmic, highly effective, rocking motion on the surface when cutting or chopping various ingredients.

MV  series knives  are made from molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon stainless steel, known as  MBS-26 , which was hardened in three stages until it reached a hardness of  58-59 HRC . Each blade has been perfected by masters with over 30 years of experience, making  Masahiro knives  incredibly sharp.

The antibacterial handle is made of laminated wood, called  Black Pakkawood , whose numerous layers were pressed under high pressure and high temperature into a solid, very durable, moisture and water-resistant material. The wooden handle is secured with three perfectly placed and polished rivets, and an additional metal reinforcement is used between it and the blade.

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.
