MBS-26 steel, which was used to produce knives from this series, is a unique alloy of carbon (0.85-1.00%), chromium (13-15%) and molybdenum, manganese and vanadium. This material owes its unique properties to special heat treatment. The secret of the three-stage process consisting of hardening, cooling at a very low temperature and tempering until a hardness of58-59 HRCis known only to the owner of the company - the Hattori family. The steel obtained in this way can be sharpened to an unprecedented level of sharpness, and maintaining high aggressiveness of the cutting edge for a very long period of time is a characteristic feature of Masahiro knives, recognized by users all over the world. MBS-26 belongs to the group of so-called stainless steel, does not react with color or odor change in contact with acidic products. Keeping knives made of this alloy in impeccable, shiny condition is not a problem. Simple washing in lukewarm water with the addition of dishwashing liquid is enough. Just remember to wipe the knife dry after washing.

The handle made of woodpakkawood has been perfectly profiled and finished, making the held knife seem to be a natural extension of the hand and work becomes easy and very pleasant.
