• „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 cutting or chopping various products.
• Utility  with a 150mm blade is a versatile knife, which is a smaller version of the chef's knife. Due to its universal use, it is suitable wherever a chef's knife is too large, making it an indispensable element of kitchen equipment.
• The set also includes a  Paring 90mm knife. Paring, or more precisely – peeling – is a knife designed for peeling and processing small products such as fruits and vegetables. The sharp tip allows for easy maneuvering, and the small size makes it convenient to peel in hand or cut small products on a board. Due to its universal use, it is an indispensable element of kitchen equipment.

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 a 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 when in 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 pakkwood  handle  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. „Sankei“

​​series   is mainly intended for amateur chefs, but it can easily handle the demanding conditions of a restaurant kitchen. <
