Masahiro MV 9.4 in. Gyuto

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 wide bevel on the face side, and very small bevel on the back side (80/20) 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 straigten and align the edge.

• Molybdenum [Mo] It creates carbides and improves wear resistance. In stainless steel, it also improves corrosion resistance. It also becomes tougher after tempering. It is hard even at high temperatures and has good wear resistance.
• Vanadium [V] It creates very hard carbides and improves wear resistance. It works to refine crystal grains. It has the effect of preventing decarburization. Chromium [Cr] It improves hardenability and corrosion resistance. When 13% or more is added, it is called stainless steel.
