The Masahiro set comes in a decorative package, including the following knives: Sankei Chef 180mm and Sankei Utility 150mm. This knife set is the absolute minimum that should be in every kitchen. Packaged in a beautiful box, it makes a perfect gift set.
The "Chef" knife is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives by both professional chefs and amateurs. Originating from French cuisine, its characteristic blade 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 dicing various products.

The set also includes a knife from the same SANKEI series - the Utility with a 150mm blade is a versatile knife, 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 MBS-26 steel, 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 possesses 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 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 steels, and does not react with changes in color or odor upon contact with acidic products. Keeping knives made from this alloy immaculate 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 handle shape, made from 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 extended periods. The Sankei
