Masahiro MV-H Santoku Dimple Knife 17.5 cm

The Masahiro MV-H Santoku with a 17.5 cm blade is a versatile kitchen knife that is considered the Japanese equivalent of the Western chef’s knife. Its name, meaning “three virtues,” reflects its wide range of applications: cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. The unique design of the Santoku, combining the features of a chef’s knife and a cleaver, ensures comfort and precision in the kitchen. The Dimple version features special indentations on both sides of the blade, which effectively prevent ingredients from sticking, making slicing easier. The MV-H series was designed for users in Europe and America, where knives are often also used for chopping. The blades in this line are slightly thicker, making them more durable and resistant to stress during intensive use. The MV-H knives are made of high-carbon stainless steel MBS-26, which is a derivative of VG-10. The three-stage hardening process gives the blades a hardness of 58-59 HRC, guaranteeing their exceptional sharpness and durability. The perfect finish of each blade is the result of the work of masters with over 30 years of experience. The handle, made of durable and hygienic polyacetal (POM), has antibacterial properties and is easy to clean. Three solid rivets and a metal bolster between the handle and the blade ensure the durability of the construction and comfortable use. The asymmetrical sharpening of 80/20, characteristic of Masahiro knives, allows for a thinner and sharper cutting edge. This makes the knife slice even more easily and precisely than models with a symmetrical grind, which will be appreciated by both professionals and amateur cooks.
