Product Overview
The MASAHIRO Carbon Professional Chopper 120mm is a compact yet extremely powerful Japanese chopper, crafted in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, a historic center of Japanese blade-making.
This knife is designed for demanding tasks that require weight, stability, and decisive cutting force. With its thick blade and substantial weight, it excels at chopping meat, cutting through poultry bones, and handling tough ingredients where ordinary kitchen knives fall short. Despite its compact blade length, the chopper’s mass delivers outstanding cutting power with minimal effort.
The blade is forged from pure Japanese carbon steel, valued by professionals for its sharpness, strong bite, and excellent edge retention. Hardened to HRC 60, it provides a perfect balance of toughness and ease of sharpening, making it suitable for intensive daily use.
A 5.0 mm thick blade and a solid 580 g weight give this chopper exceptional durability and stability. The full tang construction ensures strength and balance, while the natural rosewood handle offers a secure, comfortable grip and classic appearance.
This is a specialist tool for chefs and serious users who demand uncompromising performance.
