Japanese Cutting The metal alloy on this knife is made of stainless steel enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, an alloy that increases the metal's hardness, durability and corrosion resistance.

The above tasks are very common in Japanese cuisine, so traditional Japanese knives are sharpened only on one side. Each Japanese MV is hand-sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on only one side at 15 ° to receive a sharp knife.

Comfortable wooden handle The first part of the knife you come in contact with is the handle. The handle of the Japanese MV gives the feeling of warm and comfortable grip that is characteristic of wood. It is made of oak wood, a hard and durable wood both for continuous and harsh use and in its contact with food and kitchen materials. The round handle makes the knife comfortable and practical from any angle, allowing you to use its sharp blade in just about any direction you want. The wooden handle fits harmoniously with the metal of the blade and tightly ties it into the collar with resin.

Master of Blades recommends avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Soft steel knives need stone grinding more often, but they can also revert to their previous condition temporarily with the use of a sharpener steel.
