Chef knife cm. 21 Masahiro MV-H series made of high-carbon stainless steel MBS-26.
MBS-26 steel is owned by Masahiro and has an ideal hardness for a kitchen knife.
MBS-26 stainless steel is treated with three hardening, sub-zero and tempering phases until the steel reaches a hardness of 58-60 HRC.
The edge of the MV-H knives is asymmetrical 70/30.
70 percent of the edge is rectified on the right side of the blade and 30 percent is rectified on the left side.
This asymmetrical border derives from traditional Japanese knives.
The handle is a heat and moisture resistant resin.
The handle is also resistant to bacteria which keeps the knife very hygienic in everyday use.
The handle has three rivets and the full shank.
The Masahiro knives are incredibly light, but perfectly balanced.
Blade length cm. 21
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks.
However, the ideal choice depends on several factors:
Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade.
Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade.
Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency.
In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?
It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?
Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
