Masahiro Mv Chef

Masahiro MV Chefwith a blade length210 mmis one of the most common knives of choice for the kitchen, both by professional chefs and amateurs. The characteristic shape of the knife, derived from French cuisine, is used for many kitchen tasks, and the name chef's knife emphasizes the fact 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 between the blade and the handle, it allows for rhythmic, very efficient, rocking movement on the surface when slicing or chopping various products. The knives from theMVseries are made of molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon, stainless steel calledMBS-26, which has been subjected to a three-stage hardening process until it reaches a hardness of58-59 HRC. Each blade has been perfected by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience, bringingMasahiroknives to a level of incredible sharpness. The handle with antibacterial properties is made of laminated wood called Black Pakkawood, whose numerous layers have been pressed under high pressure and at high temperature into a uniform, very durable, moisture and water resistant material. The wooden handle is secured with three perfectly placed and polished rivets, and additional metal reinforcement is used between it and the blade. The knives from this series are sharpened on both sides, but unlike most Western producers, Masahiro sharpens them asymmetrically span80/20. This means that the cutting edge is moved to one side of the knife axis. The benefits of using asymmetric sharpening include a cutting edge that is up to 35% compared to a symmetrical blade, making it much sharper.
