The Masahiro set comes in a decorative package, consisting of three Sankei series knives: Chef 180mm, Bread 210mm, and Paring 90mm. This perfectly selected knife set can handle most cutting tasks and, together with its beautiful box, makes an excellent gift.

• The SANKEI Chef is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives by both professional chefs and amateurs. Originating from French cuisine, the characteristic shape of the knife 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 efficient, rocking motion on the surface when cutting or chopping various products.
• The SANKEI Bread knife, with its 210 mm long serrated blade, is designed for slicing bread. It easily handles hard bread crusts and soft interiors, providing aesthetic slices with minimal crumbs. Some chefs also use this knife to cut chocolate, tomatoes, or citrus fruits.
• The set also includes a Paring 90mm knife. A paring knife is 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 comfortable for peeling in hand or cutting small items on a board. Its versatile use makes it an indispensable element of kitchen equipment.

The MBS-26 steel used to produce this series of knives is a unique alloy of carbon (0.85-1.00%), chromium (13-15%), and molybdenum, manganese, and vanadium. This material possesses its unique properties due to a 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 aggression 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 steels, which do not react with changes in color or odor upon contact with acidic products. Keeping knives made from 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 extended periods. The Sankei

series is mainly intended for amateur cooks, but it can easily handle professional tasks.
