Masahiro Black chef's knife 18 cm

Masahiro Black chef's knife 18 cm: compact all rounder in Japanese AUS-8 steel

Many find a 21 or 24 cm chef's knife a little large. The Masahiro Black at 18 cm is big enough for cabbages and larger cuts of meat, but compact enough to give you full control when chopping herbs and garlic. It suits smaller hands and smaller worktops well.

The knife is AUS-8 stainless steel with a hardness of HRC 58. The steel is robust and forgiving. It holds its edge well but is not so brittle that you have to worry about using the knife every day. The handle is laminated wood lacquered black. It gives the knife a modern look, and the lacquer makes the wood more resistant to moisture and food spills.
