Description
Masahiro MV-H Santoku with a blade length of 175 mm is a traditional Japanese knife that is often referred to as the equivalent of a Western chef's knife. The Japanese name of this very popular knife means "three virtues" or "three virtues". This refers to the fact that this knife, whose characteristic appearance resembles a combination of a chef's knife and a cleaver, is very suitable for cutting meat, fish and vegetables.
The MV-H series was designed and manufactured with the European and American audiences who use knives in a slightly different way than in Japan. In addition to cutting, knives in the West are also used for chopping. Taking into account the use of this technique, the blades of the MV-H series knives are slightly thicker and more durable during heavier work.
The knives from this line are made of a high-carbon molybdenum-vanadium derivative of VG-10, stainless steel called MBS-26, which has been subjected to a three-stage hardening process until it reaches a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Each blade has been perfected by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience, bringing Masahiro knives to a level of incredible sharpness.
The hygienic handle with antibacterial properties is made of a material called polyacetal (POM), characterized by a unique durability. The handle is secured with three perfectly placed rivets, and there is additional metal reinforcement between it and the blade.
The knives from this series are sharpened on two sides, but unlike most Western manufacturers, Masahiro sharpens them asymmetrically 80/ 20. This means that the cutting edge is moved to one of the sides along the knife axis. The benefits of using asymmetric sharpening include a cutting edge that is up to 35% thinner compared to a symmetrical blade, making it much sharper.
