Usage Tips:
After use, it is essential to wash the knife and preferably dry it immediately or leave it to air dry on a rack.
Dishwasher use is not recommended. The chemical agents used in dishwashers can lead to discoloration on the blade, permanently damage the handle or the blade itself.
Proper knife storage is also crucial. Magnetic strips and magnetic boards are highly recommended as they protect the knife during its "rest" while in use in the kitchen.
Traditional slot-type knife blocks require care when inserting and removing knives to preserve their edge. Additionally, ensure they are thoroughly dried beforehand as the closed construction of knife blocks does not provide good ventilation.
Maintaining the quality of the edges also involves using suitable cutting boards. Wooden and bamboo cutting boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are definitively discouraged.
Furthermore, avoid cutting frozen products, bones, or submerging the blade in boiling water during thermal processing of prepared dishes.
If kitchen knives go unused for an extended period, you can apply camellia oil to keep them in good condition.
Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the beautifully crafted, perfectly sharp knives for many years.

Mcusta Zanmai
MCUSTA is a Japanese company founded in 1964, specializing in the production of high-quality kitchen knives. Their expansion has reached the world, allowing users to enjoy professional blades in both domestic and professional settings.
The synonym for "ZANMAI" is "luxury," which holds great importance in the production of each knife.
In the first stage, knives are laser-cut from sheets of steel, resulting in high hardness. They are then cold-forged, and these processes increase the density of the steel, resistance to abrasion, and the aforementioned blade hardness.
Hand assembly is crucial to the quality of Mcusta knives, underscoring their excellence and uniqueness.
