Masahiro Sankei Black Utility Knife 15 cm

The Masahiro SANKEI Utility 15 cm is a compact version of a chef’s knife, ideal for precise tasks where a larger knife would be too cumbersome. Its versatility makes it indispensable in every kitchen.

The knife blade is made of high-quality MBS-26 steel, which is an alloy of carbon, chromium, and molybdenum, manganese, and vanadium. Thanks to a unique, three-stage heat treatment process, it achieves a hardness of 58-59 HRC, which ensures long-lasting sharpness and an aggressive cutting edge. Additionally, the MBS-26 stainless steel does not react with acidic products, which prevents changes in color or smell, and keeping it in perfect condition is simple — just wash it in lukewarm water.

The ergonomic shape of the pakkawood handle gives the knife a unique look. The perfectly polished handle, with two rivets that are imperceptible to the touch, ensures comfortable use, even during long hours of work. The Sankei series was designed with cooking amateurs in mind, but it will also work well in demanding professional kitchen conditions. The set includes six basic knives: a chef’s knife, santoku, paring knife, a smaller utility knife (15 cm), as well as a bread knife and a slicing knife. A distinguishing feature of this series is its compact size, excellent balance, and low weight. Like all Masahiro products, Sankei knives are characterized by precise workmanship and attention to detail, which ensures unrivaled quality.
