Masahiro Sankei Chef's Knife 180mm [35922]

Masahiro SANKEI Chef 180 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 effective, rocking motion on the surface when slicing or chopping various products.  

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 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 extended periods.

The "Sankei" series is primarily intended for amateur cooks, but it can easily handle the demanding conditions of a restaurant kitchen. The group includes six main knives, such as: a chef's knife, santoku, a paring knife (peeled), a smaller utility knife (15 cm blade length), and a bread knife for slicing and cutting. Compact sizes, very good balance, and low weight are characteristic features of this series. For safety reasons, all models (except the bread knife) have a ground angle (knife beard – cutting edge), which protects against accidental cuts. Like all Masahiro products , Sankei knives were produced with due care and passion to perfectly finish even the smallest details.
