Masahiro MV 150mm Utility Knife

The Masahiro MV 6 in. (150mm) Utility has decent knuckle clearance for a utility knife. Very sharp and edged on one side of the blade (80/20). Very useful for close, precise hand work like shallots, garlic, trimming fat etc.. Some Chefs with smaller hands like to use this as their main knife. Because the blade is narrow and thin, it glides right through food with a minimal amount of drag. If you're a fan of Jacques Pepin (and if not, you should be) you may notice that he uses this knife style for much of his basic slicing and dicing. .

• The MV line by Masahiro is the model that sets the standard for stainless steel professional knives.The handle is made of laminated reinforced wood with antibacterial agents. The blade is made of high-carbon stainless steel "MBS-26," which is resistant to rust and has excellent sharpness durability. The weight of the knife feels good in your hand, and it is a well-balanced design that does not tire you out even after long hours of work.


• A single-edged blade is a knife with a back bevel on one side. The main benefit of a single sided blade is the taper of the blade comes to a finer edge; an added benefit of the single-sided blade is the ease of sharpening on stones, the majority of the sharpening process is done just on the face(front) side of the knife only a small amount of sharpening work is needed on the backside of the knife to straighten and align the edge.
