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 series is also called VC (Virgin Carbon). Despite its size, this workhorse is still nimble and can precisely cut through fruits, vegetables, and meat.
