Masahiro MV-S Santoku Knife 175 mm [13623]
Santoku is a traditional Japanese knife, often referred to as the Western chef's knife equivalent. The Japanese name for this very popular knife means "three virtues" or "three virtues". This means that this knife, resembling a combination of a chef's knife and a cleaver in appearance, is very suitable for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables.
MV-S series knives are made from 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 masters with over 30 years of experience, making Masahiro knives incredibly sharp.
The characteristic handle, made of high-quality stainless steel, has antibacterial properties and is very easy to clean. Special perforations on the handle make it extremely safe and ensure excellent blade control. The integrated handle with the blade is a very strong and durable construction with a wonderful appearance.
Knives in this series are sharpened on both sides, but unlike most Western manufacturers, Masahiro sharpens them asymmetricaly 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.
