Masahiro BWH Paring Knife 90mm [14001]

Masahiro BWH Paring with a blade length of 90mm is a knife designed for peeling and processing small products such as fruits and vegetables. The shape resembles a miniature chef's knife and the pointed tip allows for easy maneuvering. Indispensable in every kitchen. BWH is a series of knives modeled on the MV-H line. Molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon, stainless steel MBS-26 was also used here, which was subjected to a three-stage hardening process until reaching a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Each blade has been perfected by artisans with over 30 years of experience, taking Masahiro knives to a level of unprecedented, unprecedented sharpness.

The handle was made of wood called Black Pakkawood, whose numerous layers were pressed under high pressure and at high temperature into a uniform, very durable, moisture and water resistant material. The wooden handle with an antibacterial coating is easy to care for like plastic, it has been secured with three perfectly embedded and polished rivets.

Knives in this series are sharpened on both sides, but unlike most Western manufacturers, Masahiro sharpens them asymmetrically 80/20. This means that the cutting edge is shifted to one side in the axis of the knife. The benefits of using asymmetric sharpening are up to 35% thinner cutting edge compared to the symmetrical blade, which makes it much sharper.

Useful information:

All Masahiro knives are extremely sharp, so we recommend that you handle them with care. Masahiro knives should not be used to cut frozen food ( except for the series intended for it). Do not use knives for anything other than food. Use wooden or plastic chopping boards for cutting. Do not wash the knives in the dishwasher, which will damage the cutting edge. Wash the knife in warm water with dishwashing liquid. Wipe the knife dry after washing.
