• SANKEI Chef is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives by both professional chefs and amateurs. Originating from French cuisine, the characteristic knife shape 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 of the blade and handle, it allows for a rhythmic, highly effective, rocking motion on the surface when slicing or chopping various products.
• SANKEI Bread with 210mm long serrated blades is designed for slicing bread. It easily handles hard bread crust and soft interior, providing aesthetic slices with minimal crumbs. Some chefs use this knife to cut chocolate, tomatoes, or citrus fruits.
• The set also includes a Paring 90mm knife. Paring, more precisely – a peeler – is a knife designed for peeling and processing small products such as fruits and vegetables. The sharp tip allows for easy maneuvering, and its small size makes it convenient for peeling in hand or cutting small items on a board. Due to its versatile use, it is an indispensable element of kitchen equipment.

MBS-26 steel, which was used to produce knives in 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's owner – the Hattori family. The steel obtained in this way can be sharpened to an unprecedented sharpness, and maintaining high cutting edge aggressiveness 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 upon contact with acidic products. Keeping knives made of this alloy impeccable and shiny is not a problem. Simple washing in lukewarm water with dish soap is sufficient. Just remember to wipe the knife dry after washing.

The simple and functional shape of the handle made of pakkawood gives the knife a unique character. The perfectly polished handle with two rivets, imperceptible to the touch, allows for extremely comfortable work with this tool, even for a long time.
