Masamoto SW

Monosteel Migaki Swedish Steel / Stainless Tokyo, Japan

The Masamoto KS series, particularly the KS double bevel line up, including the unicron KS 3124, is loved by many many professional chefs and enthusiasts because of its unique and excellent profile; also because it is super light and nimble.

Arguably the only problem? The rustic carbon steel used in the KS line can be problematic during the busy service sessions in a western kitchen. As a result, Masamoto created the SW series, which is the stainless equivalent of the white steel (KS) line, employing the same great cutting performance without the need to worry about the rust. The Swedish steel is very refined, offer decent hardness and excellent toughness.
