Masahiro is another solid Japanese knife-maker from Seki, Japan. Along with Misono and Masamoto, they are recognized as the big three M's.
Established in 1948, the company has been providing great value knives for both professional chefs and home cooks. Their virgin carbon line is one of our favorite series from them. Their MV series are also bang-for-the-buck knives.
This knife is used in Okinawa to fillet large fish like Mahi Mahi or Tuna. It's called "Atama Otoshi".
A typical 210mm/240mm deba is heavy and expensive. If you're looking for a relatively long fillet knife that is light and inexpensive, this is an excellent choice!
