Set of 2 Masahiro Sankei knives 358_4245_BB

The Masahiro set in an elegant package contains the following knives: Sankei Gyuto 18 cm and Sankei Utility 15 cm. These are basic tools that should be in every kitchen, and thanks to the beautiful box, they make an excellent gift.

The Gyuto knife is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen tools, both by professional chefs and amateurs. Its characteristic shape, originating from French cuisine, makes it versatile and ideal for many tasks. The lightweight construction and ergonomic handle ensure comfortable use, regardless of hand size. The excellent balance of the blade and handle allows for precise, rhythmic slicing and chopping.

The set also includes a Utility knife 15 cm, a smaller version of the chef’s knife. Thanks to its universal use, it’s an ideal tool where a chef’s knife may be too large, making it an essential part of kitchen equipment.

The MBS-26 steel, used to produce the knives in this series, is a unique alloy of 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 low temperature, and tempering, the material reaches a hardness of 58-59 HRC. The secret of this process is known only to the Hattori family. This steel allows for an exceptional blade sharpness and long-lasting maintenance of a high cutting edge aggressiveness, which is valued by users worldwide. MBS-26 belongs to the group of stainless steels; it is resistant to reactions with acids and does not change color or smell when in contact with acidic products. Keeping the knives in perfect condition and with a shine is easy; just wash them in lukewarm water with dish soap and dry them thoroughly after washing.

The knife’s handle, made of pakkawood, has a simple but functional shape that gives it a unique character. The perfectly polished surface, with no visible rivets, ensures comfort during use, even during prolonged work with the tool.

The Sankei series was designed mainly with cooking amateurs in mind but will also work well in the demanding conditions of a professional kitchen. It consists of six basic models: a chef’s knife, santoku, a paring knife, a smaller utility knife (15 cm blade length), a slicing knife, and a bread knife. It is characterized by compact sizes, excellent balance, and lightness. For safety, all models (except the bread knife) have a rounded blade corner, which reduces the risk of cuts. Like all Masahiro knives, products from the Sankei series are distinguished by precise workmanship and attention to the smallest details.
