Masahiro Mv-h Chef Dimple

Masahiro MV-H Chef Dimpleis one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives, both by professional chefs and amateurs. The characteristic shape of the knife, derived from French cuisine, is used for many kitchen tasks, and the name chef's knife emphasizes the fact that it is an indispensable tool for every cook. The knife is very light and the handle fits securely in both small and large hands. Thanks to the perfect balance between the blade and the handle, it allows for a rhythmic, very efficient, rocking movement on the surface when slicing or chopping various products.

VersionDimple means the double-sided grooves of the blade, which prevent the cut products from sticking to the knife.

TheMV-Hseries was designed and manufactured with European and American customers in mind, who use knives in a slightly different way than in Japan . In addition to cutting, knives in the West are also used for chopping. Taking into account the use of this technique, the blades of theMV-Hseries knives are slightly thicker and more durable for heavier work.

The knives from this line are made of a derivative of VG-10, a molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon, stainless steel calledMBS-26, which has been subjected to a three-stage hardening process until achieving hardness 58-59 HRC. Each blade has been perfected by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience, bringingMasahiroknives to a level of incredible sharpness.

Hygienic handle with antibacterial properties, made of a material calledpolyacetal(POM), characterized by exceptional durability. The handle is secured with three perfectly placed rivets, and there is additional metal reinforcement between it and the blade.

The knives from this series are sharpened on both sides, but unlike most Western producers, Masahiro sharpens them asymmetrically span80/20. This means that the cutting edge is moved to one of the sides along the knife axis. The benefits of using asymmetric sharpening include a cutting edge that is up to 35%in comparison to a symmetrical blade, making it much sharper.
