Masahiro BWH 2-Knife Set 140_1101_BB

The Masahiro BWH knife set in elegant packaging consists of two knives: a chef’s knife (21 cm) and a Paring knife (9 cm). The chef’s knife, being one of the most frequently used tools in the kitchen, is great for a wide range of culinary tasks, and its smaller counterpart – the Paring knife – perfectly complements the set, designed for precise work such as peeling fruits or vegetables. The entire set, packaged in an aesthetic box, is an excellent idea for an elegant gift. The chef’s knife, with its shape originating from French cuisine, is an indispensable tool for every cook. Thanks to its lightweight construction and ergonomic handle, it fits comfortably in the hand, ensuring comfort during work. The perfect balance of the blade and handle allows for smooth, rhythmic movements when slicing or chopping. The Paring knife is a small, precise knife, perfect for peeling and processing smaller products. Its blade, resembling a miniature version of a chef’s knife, easily allows for maneuvering for small tasks in the kitchen.   The BWH series of knives is inspired by the MV-H line, with the same molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon stainless steel MBS-26. This steel undergoes a three-stage hardening process, reaching a hardness of 58-59 HRC. The knife blades are carefully shaped by artisans with over 30 years of experience, which gives them exceptional sharpness, reaching a level that distinguishes them from others. The knife handle is made of Black Pakkawood, which consists of many layers pressed under high pressure and at high temperature, creating an exceptionally durable material resistant to moisture and water. The wood with an antibacterial coating is easy to care for, resembling plastic, and the handle is securely fastened with three precisely set and polished rivets. The knives from this series are sharpened on both sides, but in contrast to most Western manufacturers, Masahiro uses asymmetrical sharpening in a ratio of 80/20. This means that the cutting edge is shifted towards one of the knife’s axes. Asymmetrical sharpening allows for a thinner cutting edge, up to 35% compared to traditional, symmetrical blades, which translates into greater sharpness.
