Masahiro MSC Chef Knife 180mm [11062]

This is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives, 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 a rhythmic, highly efficient, rocking movement on the surface when slicing or chopping various products. Masahiro MSC are knives designed for home users. We will not find here many specialized knives of various shapes. Instead, we will find the necessary and most often used knives for work in the home kitchen: chef's knife, santoku and a small utility knife. The offer also includes a traditional Japanese knife for cutting vegetables - nakiri. MBS-26 steel, which was used to produce knives in this series, is a unique carbon alloy (0.85-1.00%), chrome (13-15%) and molybdenum, manganese and vanadium. This material owes its unique properties to a special heat treatment. The secret of the three-stage process consisting of hardening, cooling at a very low temperature and tempering until reaching a hardness of 58-59HRC is known only to the owner of the company - the Hattori family. The steel obtained in this way can be sharpened to an unprecedented level of sharpness, and maintaining a high aggressiveness of the cutting edge for a very long time is a characteristic feature of Masahiro knives, recognized by users around the world. MBS-26 belongs to the group of so-called. stainless steel, does not react in contact with acidic products, changing color or smell. Keeping knives made of this alloy in an impeccable shiny condition is not a problem. A simple washing in lukewarm water with the addition of dishwashing liquid is sufficient. Just remember to wipe the knife dry after washing. The handle made of rosewood has been perfectly profiled and finished, making the held knife seem to be a natural extension of the hand, making work easy and very pleasant.
