Masahiro MV 10.5 in. Left Handed Gyuto

The Masahiro MV 10.5 in. (270mm) Left Handed is the Japanese analog of a western Chef's Knife. The gyuto is an all purpose kitchen knife that is used for most types of chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing. Masahiro strives to create knives that are practical, tough and sharp this Gyuto is not as flashy as some other Japanese knives but that is intentional so that price stays competitive and so that added ingredients don't take away from the Proprietary base steel which is thick and tough. Since Masahiro’s founding, they have been dedicated to making knives in Seki City, the sword capital of Japan. The materials used in their knives are sourced in Japan. In addition, no part of the processing is outsourced overseas, and their parts are made in Japan. At Masahiro craftsmen carry out almost all processes from material selection to hardening and finishing sharpening at their main factory. Each and every knife is packed with the know-how of our veteran craftsmen. The sharpness of our knives is guaranteed by the handiwork of craftsmen who have been making knives for many years. They carefully assess the characteristics of each material and apply the optimal processing and sharpening to each knife.
