Knife Zanmai Revolution 15cm Santoku

The Oriental Santoku Knife from the Japanese brand Mcusta Zanmai is a knife with a special shape, perfect for delicate cutting of meat and fish. Due to its thin blade, it also excels in slicing bread, cutting fruits, or chopping herbs. One of the significant advantages of this knife is its wide blade, which allows for easy transfer of sliced products or herbs directly onto a pan or into a pot. The handle is made of pakka wood, a composite of wood and resin. Such handles are known for their high resistance to mechanical damage, high temperatures, and humidity. Pakka, as a laminate made from thin sheets of natural wood, adds character to each knife. Specifications: Blade: High-speed powder steel SPG2 Blade Hardness: 61 HRC +/-1 Blade Length: 15cm Blade Width: 4.3cm Weight: approximately 144g 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. Revolution: High-speed powder steel SPG2, hardened to over 60 HRC, can handle any kitchen challenge. The perfectly contoured handle made of black pakka wood fits comfortably in the hand, without causing strain during work. Revolution is a proposition for those who value reliable tools and Japanese design enthusiasts.
