The Masahiro set in an elegant package contains the following knives: Sankei Gyuto 18 cm and Sankei Paring 9 cm. This is an ideal combination that forms the basic equipment for every kitchen, and thanks to the beautiful packaging, it’s perfect for a gift. The Gyuto knife is one of the most frequently chosen knives, both by professional chefs and amateurs. Its characteristic shape, originating from French cuisine, makes it a versatile tool for many kitchen tasks. The chef’s knife is an indispensable tool in every kitchen, and its lightweight construction and well-profiled handle ensure comfort for people with both small and large hands. The excellent balance of the blade and handle allows for precise and efficient slicing and chopping. The set also includes a Paring knife 9 cm, which is a peeler, and is ideal for processing small products, such as fruits or vegetables. The sharp tip allows for precise maneuvering, and the compact size makes the knife comfortable to use both when peeling in hand and when cutting small ingredients on a cutting board. Thanks to its versatility, it is an indispensable tool in every kitchen.

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 58-59HRC. 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.
