Masahiro Knives 7 inch Santoku Knife - Newly imported to the US, Masahiro MV-H Knives are among the most prestigious lines of cutlery crafted in Japan today. The 7 inch Santoku, a Japanese-style utility knife, is ideal for multi-tasking in any kitchen and is the perfect gift for the most discriminating chef or cooking enthusiast.

Produced by Masahiro Co., Ltd. in Seki, Japan, Masahiro MV-H Knives are the result of a marriage of the most prestigious brands in Japan. Masahiro, Masamoto, and Misono, which are commonly known as the three M’s. Among the numerous knives Masahiro produces, the MV-H range is the brand pinnacle – elevated above all other knives to join the few most notable knife ranges produced in Japan.

Features

The edge of a knife being its most important feature, in the case of the MV-H, it is 80/20 asymmetrical and is polished to a mirror finish. This indicates that 80 percent of the edge is ground on the right side of the blade and 20 percent is ground on the left side. This asymmetrical edge is derived from traditional one-sided Japanese knives which are also 80/20 asymmetrical. The 80 percent side on the MV-H is only 1/8 inch high as compared to ¾ inch high on a traditional Japanese knife, but the idea is the same. An asymmetrical edge is approximately 35 percent thinner than a 50/50 straight edge. If comparing the 80/20 edge to a beveled edge, there will be no comparison. The beveled edge will feel like you are cutting with a stick when compared to the Masahiro.
The Masahiro knives are amazingly light weight, yet perfectly balanced and the durable handle is a heat, moisture and solvent resistant resin, making it more practical and longer-lasting than a laminated wood handle. The composite handle is also bacteria-resistant, an important property for cleanliness. The full tang of the blade is nearly as wide as the handle, providing plenty of room for the three-rivet design, yet allowing for a smooth, incredibly rounded handle that is comfortable under all circumstances.

Construction

The MV-H range is made from MBS-26 high carbon stainless steel. This MBS-26 is proprietary to Masahiro; however, it comes from the VG family like VG-10 that the Kasumi Damascus knives first used. The MBS-26 stainless steel is treated by three stages of quenching, sub-zero treating and tempering until the steel reaches a hardness of 58-60 HRC. Masahiro believes this is the ideal hardness for a kitchen knife with the features of the MV-H range.
