MBS-26 steel, which was used to produce knives of this series, 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 58-59HRC, 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.
