Usage Tips:
After use, it should be washed and preferably wiped dry or left to air dry on a rack.
Washing knives in a dishwasher is unacceptable. The chemicals used in dishwashers can lead to discoloration on the blade, causing permanent damage to the handle or blade itself.
Proper storage of knives is also essential. Magnetic strips and magnetic boards are highly recommended as they protect the knife during its "rest" while working in the kitchen.
Traditional slot blocks require attention when inserting and removing knives to preserve their sharpness. It's also important to ensure they are thoroughly dried beforehand as the closed block design does not provide good ventilation for the knives.
Maintaining the quality of the blades also involves using appropriate cutting boards. Wooden and bamboo boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are not recommended.
Additionally, pay attention to not cutting frozen products, bones, or immersing the blade in boiling water during the thermal processing of prepared dishes.
Long-unused kitchen knives can be oiled with camellia oil to keep them in good condition.
Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the benefits of these beautifully crafted, perfectly sharp knives for many years.
Supreme Hammered:
The knives are made from VG-10 stainless steel (one of the most highly regarded Japanese steels) encased in 32-layer stainless steel, making the knife's blade highly reliable. The hardness of the knives is approximately 61 HRC.
The handle, made from laminated red pakka wood, beautifully complements the layered pattern on the blade and ensures a secure grip.
Mcusta Zanmai:
MCUSTA is a Japanese company founded in 1964, specializing in the production of high-quality kitchen knives. Their expansion has reached worldwide, allowing users to enjoy professional-grade blades in both home and professional settings.
The word "ZANMAI" is synonymous with "luxury," which holds great significance in the production of each knife.
In the initial stage, the knives are laser-cut from steel sheets, resulting in high hardness. They are then cold-forged, increasing the steel's density, wear resistance, and the aforementioned hardness.
Critical to the quality of Mcusta knives is their hand assembly, which emphasizes their quality and uniqueness.
