Yoshihiro Supreme Jousaku Chef Knives for Left Handed Persons

IMPORT JAPAN.COM, INC. Hocho-Knife Sales Team — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:14:53 +0000

Yoshihiro’s Jousaku Supreme knives are very popular, and we’re pleased to introduce to you the LEFT handed version of the Josaku series.

Josaku blades are made to put soft kitchen knife iron on Yasuki’s traditional Nihonko or Hagane — Shiroko / White Paper No.2 Steel —
which has been widely used for a very long time in Japan. The material makes extreme sharpness, very good edge holding and high working hardness.

Speaking to the Magnolia Wood handle, the Japanese-Style U-shaped figure fits better comfortably to your hand.
The Buffalo Tsuba equipped to the handle represents high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Thank you for reading and best regards!

MASAHIRO, well known for its balance, flexibility and strength

IMPORT JAPAN.COM, INC. Hocho-Knife Sales Team — Sun, 03 Apr 2016 22:03:53 +0000

Masahiro Co., Ltd. is one of the excellent kitchen knife manufacturers in Seki, at the middle of Japan.

Among the commercial kitchen knives especially for butcher, many support the Masahiro because of its high-quality and affordable price.
And Masahiro cutlery is known for its balance, flexibility and strength. The blades are specially crafted from their propriety steel and undergo multiple processes of treating, tempering and quenching for their unique and exceptional performance.

Masahiro MV-H Stainless (Honyaki)

Among the numerous ranges of knives produced by Masahiro, the MV-H (Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel, Honyaki) range is the top of the line.
The MBS-26 (by Hitachi Metals) used in this series of knives is remarkably strong and yet does not chip easily.
This material is proprietary to Masahiro; however, it comes from the VG family like VG-10 that the Kasumi Damascus knives first used.
The MBS-26 stainless steel is treated by three stages of quenching, sub-zero treating and tempering until the steel reaches a hardness of 58-60 HRC.
Cutting edge is ground 80% on the right and 20% on the left for a tapered design that delivers a precise cut every time.
Masahiro believes this is the ideal hardness the for a kitchen knife with the features of the MV-H.

The handle is a composition plastic handle which is remarkably durable and is much more practical, very hygienic in daily use and longer lasting than a laminated wood handle.
It is a three rivet design and use a very wide full tang, almost as wide as the handles themselves, which results in an incredibly smooth rounded handle that feels great in your hand.

Masahiro Stainless Japanese-style

The series got awarded for the Good Design. The blade is made of the original stainless steel by Masahiro.
The handle is a compressed laminated wood that realizes improved durability and water resistance, by being impregnated with a resin and contained antimicrobial agent effective against such as Escherichia coli.
You can use a wide variety both for home and for professional cook.

*** Left-handed series are available in our Hocho-Knife store. Please check it.

Any Knife for Left-Handed Person?

IMPORT JAPAN.COM, INC. Hocho-Knife Sales Team — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 23:17:00 +0000

Recently, a customer asked us, “Is there a good knife for a Left-handed cook ? “

This may be one of the serious concern for left-handed people.

Our answer is “YES”.
There are some choice and examples as follows,

(1) Double-edged stainless gyuto or santoku(all purpose knife) for both right-and-left handed,

< Standard Stainless Type >

< Damascus-Pattern Stainless Type (Good Idea for Gift) >

(2) Single-edged Japanese style stainless blades for left-handed,

ManyJapanese style blades are single-edged — please be noted that they are rather for skilled cooks — for right-handed person unfrortunately. Few left-handed versions are stocked.

But you can order some customized left-handed knives if you allow a longer lead time and cost.
Please refer to the blog about Double-edged and Single-edged blade.

The customer, who asked the opening question, made a decision to purchase one of the above knives with great care.

When you need more information and want to order the one, please do not hesitate to contact us
We’ll support you as much as possible.

Hoping you’ll get the best knife for your loved one.

Thank you for reading and best regards!
