Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this Masahiro meat cleaver is built for bone work. The monosteel MBS-26 blade, a proprietary stainless steel developed exclusively for Masahiro, runs 3.8mm thick throughout, delivering the mass and rigidity that bone cutting demands. At 58-59 HRC, it holds an edge longer than most cleavers in this category, which typically run softer. MBS-26 offers good corrosion resistance throughout.

Full-tang construction

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
