Product detailed description
Japanese knife Masahiro MSC Paring 120 mm
The MSC Paring 120 mm is an all-purpose knife resembling a smaller version of a chef's knife. Its versatile use, which proves itself wherever a chef's knife is too large, makes it an indispensable piece of kitchen equipment. The knife can also be successfully used for peeling vegetables and fruit
Japanese knives Masahiro MSC are designed for home users. You won't find many specialised knives of different shapes. Instead, here are the basic and most commonly used knives for work in the home kitchen: the chef's knife, the santoku knife and the small utility knife. There is also a traditional Japanese knife for cutting vegetables - nakiri.
The MBS-26 steel used in the manufacture of this knife series is a unique alloy of carbon (0.85-1.00%), chromium (13-15%) and molybdenum, manganese and vanadium. The material owes its unique properties to a special heat treatment. The secret of the three-step process, which consists of hardening, cooling at a very low temperature and tempering until a hardness of 58-59 HRC is known only to the company's owners - the Hattori family. The resulting steel can be sharpened to unprecedented sharpness, and a characteristic feature of the knives is the retention of a highly aggressive edge for a very long time. MBS-26 belongs to the group of so-called stainless steels and does not react with acidic products by changing colour or odour. Keeping knives made of this alloy in perfect shiny condition is no problem. A normal wash in lukewarm water with dishwashing liquid is sufficient. Remember to wipe the knife dry after washing.
The handle made of pakkawood is perfectly shaped and machined, so the knife feels like a natural extension of the hand and is easy and very pleasant to work with.
We recommend purchasing a sheath or blade protector for the knife.
Never wash the knife in the dishwasher. To maintain sharpness, hand wash and dry the knife immediately.
