Masahiro Virgin Carbon 8.25 in. (210mm) Gyuto
The Masahiro Virgin Carbon 210mm Gyuto is one of chef David's favorite knives. A reliable workhorse with scalpel like precision. The asymetrical shape of this knife drops through food with remarkable ease, pushing each slice cleanly from the blade. This blade size is an excellent choice for line cooks who don't have the space to accomodate a larger knife. This knife takes a beautiful edge that can be maintained between sharpenings with a quality honing steel. We highly recommend this knife, it is one of our most popular models (with good reason)!

Masahiro MV 8.25-inch (210mm) Gyuto
A Professional Workhorse That Values Performance Over Flash In a market often saturated with flashy Damascus patterns and fragile edges, the Masahiro MV 210mm (8.25 in.) Gyuto stands as a testament to practical Japanese engineering. This isn't a knife for the display case; it is a precision tool built for the heavy-duty demands of a professional kitchen. The core of this knife is the proprietary MBS-26 high-carbon stainless steel. Masahiro developed this alloy specifically to achieve a perfect balance: it is tough enough to resist chipping during high-speed vegetable prep, yet high enough in carbon (0.9%) to maintain a razor-sharp edge through cases of mirepoix. What truly sets the MV series apart is the 80/20 asymmetrical edge. While many knives use a 50/50 symmetrical grind, Masahiro uses a single-sided approach where the face side carries the primary taper. This allows the blade to glide through dense root vegetables with significantly less resistance, while the minimal bevel on the backside makes the edge incredibly easy to realign on a whetstone. Every knife is hand-sharpened by master blacksmiths in Seki City and verified using the Gifu Prefectural Research Institute's Honda-Type Paper Cutting Test—ensuring out-of-the-box sharpness that most manufacturers simply can't match. For the chef who needs a knife that is easy to maintain, resistant to rust, and comfortable for all-day use, the Masahiro MV is the industry's best-kept secret. Learn More$119.25
