Masahiro MSC 2-knife set 110_5152

The Masahiro knife set from the MSC line, packed in a decorative packaging, contains the MSC chef’s knife 18 cm and the MSC Santoku knife 16.5 cm. This is an excellent combination of basic tools that should be in every kitchen. Packed in an aesthetic box, they are an ideal gift idea. The chef’s knife is one of the most eagerly chosen knives by professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts. Its shape, originating from French cuisine, makes it extremely versatile. The light construction and well-balanced handle guarantee comfort of work, allowing for smooth, rhythmic cutting and chopping. Santoku is a classic Japanese knife, which is the equivalent of a chef’s knife in Western cuisine. Its name, “three virtues”, refers to the versatility of this tool, which is perfect for slicing, chopping and dicing. Its unique design combines the features of a chef’s knife with a cleaver, which makes it an irreplaceable tool in the kitchen.

Masahiro MSC is a series of knives designed for home users. Instead of many specialized models, you will find basic kitchen tools in it, such as a chef’s knife, santoku and a small utility knife. The offer also includes a traditional Japanese nakiri knife, intended for cutting vegetables.

The MBS-26 steel used for the production of knives in this series is a unique alloy containing carbon (0.85-1.00%), chromium (13-15%) and molybdenum, manganese and vanadium. Thanks to a special heat treatment, which includes a three-stage process of hardening, cooling at a very low temperature and tempering, the steel reaches a hardness of 58-59 HRC. The secret of this technology is known only to the owner of the company, the Hattori family. The knives made of this steel are distinguished by extraordinary sharpness and long-lasting aggressiveness of the cutting edge, which has gained recognition among users all over the world. MBS-26 is a stainless steel, resistant to reactions with acidic products, while maintaining its appearance and taste. It is easy to keep the knives in good condition – just wash them in lukewarm water with dish soap and dry them after washing.

The handle made of pakkawood was precisely shaped and carefully finished, which makes the knife lie comfortably in the hand, and working with it is comfortable and pleasant.
