Masahiro MV-H Slicing Knife 240 mm [14917]

The Masahiro MV-H Slicing Knife 240 mm [14917], with its 240 mm long blade, is a perfect knife for slicing. Long, thin, and quite flexible blades were designed for slicing small portions of soft main dishes, such as roasted poultry or whole fish. By using a long cutting edge, we get perfectly even slices. This knife can also be successfully used for filleting.

The MV-H series was developed and manufactured for European and American customers who use knives somewhat differently than in Japan. In addition to slicing, knives in the West are also used for chopping. Considering the use of this technique, the blades of the MV-H series knives are slightly thicker and more durable for heavier tasks.

Knives in this line are made from a VG-10 derivative, molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon stainless steel, called MBS-26, which has been hardened in three stages until it reaches a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Each blade has been refined by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience, making Masahiro knives incredibly sharp.

The hygienic handle with antibacterial properties is made from a material called polyacetal (POM), which is exceptionally durable. The handle is secured with three perfectly placed 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 on 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.
