Mcusta Zanmai "Supreme Hammered" Mirror Damascus Gyuto

$329.00

The Zanmai "Supreme Hammered" series is known for its extremely refined polish including a mirror-polished 33 layer Damascus with Tsuchime finish, and a luxury handle made out pressed and laminated red Pakkawood with a phenol resin coating for superb handling and robustness. The mirror tsuchime adds a tiny bit of thickness to the spine, but the grind tapers aggressively providing thinness behind the edge. The densely pressed laminated handle counters the slight increase of weight, providing superb weight balance. The signature Zanmai fit and finish can be seen all over this knife, from beautiful mother of pearl inlay to the luxurious handle, from the finely polished spine and choil to the stunning mirror-finished tsuchime pattern. This gyuto chef knife is suited for those who prefer premium finishes, slightly heavier weight and uncompromised cutting smoothness.

    About Mcusta Zanmai 三昧

    Mcusta Zanmai is based in Seki City of Japan, a town with over 800 years of swordsmithing history. While embracing Seki's blade-making traditions, Zanmai is also bringing innovative technologies such as CNC machine and laser cutting into the workshop, making the brand a rare and seamless integration of craftsman traditions and modern technologies. Zanmai knives have unique handles that not only pay homage to traditional Wa handle design, but also bringing innovations such as high temperature compressed layers of natural Pakkawood to create polished and strong handles. Zanmai's laser cutting of VG10 steel produces high precision finish on monosteel blades. Mcusta craftsmen finish each knife on Japanese Waterstones to give their knives refined looks.

    Care:

    Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

    Cutting Surface:

    Wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

    Sharpening:

    We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

    Best knive I ever used

    Ok, I am not a professional chef, however I love blades since I was 8yo. I am sharpening knives, swords, axes and have a neat collection from pocket knives to swords. But this was my first original handmade Japanese blade, and oh my, what a blade! Once I received it, I tried all the known tests (paper, kitchen towel, tomato, etc) and passed with flying colours. The handle, the finish, the weight, the balance, all are to the area of perfection. And on top of that, such a beautiful piece of work.
    In the kitchen, it is just magic, easy to use, clean cuts, no time and no food waste. I just hope, once I have to, my sharpening skills will be an par with this knife, and be able to bring it back to the same level when new.

    A fantastic purchase

    As this was my first artisan knife my expectations were high but I still was absolutely blown away. The attention to detail is stunning along with one of the nicest design elements I've ever seen on a knife. The damacus and the hammer marks blends beautifully along with the red handle. Aesthetics aside the knife preforms notably better than my usual kifes (Global and Wüsthof which are sharpened regularly with whetstones). A ture pice of art in my opinion.
