Japanese manufacturer of prestigious kitchen knives<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The roots of the Masahiro Co. Ltd. company go back to 1932. For almost a century now, the Hattori family at the head of the company has maintained its position as a leader in the industry, which today undoubtedly sets the standards for the production of extraordinarily sharp and durable kitchen knives. Moving to the 1960s, we witness groundbreaking events in the industry of manufacturing knives for chefs<\/a> and enthusiasts of culinary art. It was then that Masahiro developed MBS-26 steel, which to this day is considered one of the best that can be used to produce a high-quality kitchen knife. In 1962, the first MSC series hit the market, including extremely durable and sharp knives made of this high-carbon stainless steel. Innovative solutions and the tireless work of a whole team of specialists still set the direction for the development of the world-renowned Masahiro<\/a><\/strong> knife brand.<\/p>\n

The quality of Japanese Masahiro kitchen knives<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Taking care of the consistently high quality of its products, Masahiro uses modern technologies to improve steel, achieving impressive parameters in terms of the sharpness of kitchen knives<\/a><\/strong>, their durability, and resistance to corrosion. The tireless work of the skilled members of the Masahiro crew, from the owners to the outstanding craftsmen, takes place in the Japanese city of Seki, in the Gifu prefecture, where the company\u2019s headquarters are located.<\/p>\n

The location is not accidental, as this is where for over 700 years the best specialists have showcased their craftsmanship, producing masterful swords and knives with razor-sharp blades<\/strong>. The almost symbolic dimension of this location can also be spoken of in reference to the statistics kept \u2013 as much as 60% of all knife production in Japan is concentrated here. On such a strong foundation of tireless work and traditional craftsmanship, no other knives could have been created than the prestigious Masahiro kitchen knives with unparalleled sharpness, which they largely owe to the aforementioned high-carbon MBS-26 steel.<\/p>\n

High-carbon stainless steel MBS-26 \u2013 Masahiro\u2019s innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Hattori family, managing the Masahiro company they created, was focused from the beginning on development and achieving ever higher goals in the field of producing kitchen knives that are exceptionally sharp and have excellent functional parameters. Masahiro specialists, in cooperation with the Japanese steel producer Daido Co. Ltd., therefore developed the unique MBS-26 steel, which is still used to produce the blades of knives that hold such a high position on the world market. MBS-26 is an unusual alloy of carbon and, among others, chromium, manganese, and molybdenum with vanadium. This high-carbon stainless steel belongs to the VG group of steels and is compared to the renowned VG-10 steel. Its greatest advantages, which are so highly valued by professional chefs and the most demanding cooking enthusiasts, remain: above-average sharpness and the fact that knives with MBS-26 steel blades retain it for an extremely long time, very high durability, and ease of sharpening.<\/p>\n
