Masahiro 14914 MVH - 12 inch Chef's Knife

The new MV-H series from Masahiro is lighter & sleeker than the older MV series. Masahiro really scored a grand slam when they developed the "modern Japanese grind" (found on all MV & MV-H series blades) not the traditional Japanese "chisel grind", but a more subtle version of it that is unlike anything ever devised in the western world. The "blade geometry" is far advanced over European & American design concepts. Also, instead of making a dozen or so hideous-looking hollow 'kullens' along the blade to keep food from sticking, centuries ago the Japanese gently hollowed the entire back face of the blade. Masahiro's "modern Japanese grind" has a more subtle version of this. When it comes to blades, it seems that the Japanese people are conceptually gifted. They've also had the best steel all through history the west has always lagged behind (though it's been kept something of a secret till recently). If you want the best steel, and the best-designed "blade geometry" available in a light, sleek package, then the Masahiro MV-H series is for you. If you want more heft, go for the MV series. You won't be disappointed. Features: MBS-26 stainless steel blade welded to non-magnetic bolster, stainless steel rivits help hold one piece black poly handle in place. Professional balance designed-in. Gift boxed.

Have been using this knife on a daily basis great / easy to handle, VERY sharp and I have not even been sharpening it! One of the best!!
