Specifications: Blade: 33-layer stainless steel, VG-10 core Blade hardness: 61 HRC +/- 1 Blade length: 27cm Blade width: 4.0cm Weight: approximately 217g Usage Tips: After use, it should be washed and preferably dried or left to air dry on a rack. Dishwasher use is not acceptable. The chemicals used in dishwashers can cause discoloration on the blade, permanently damage the handle, or the blade itself. Knife storage is also essential. Magnetic strips and magnetic boards are highly recommended as they protect the knife when it is "resting" during kitchen work. Traditional slot blocks require attention when inserting and removing knives to protect their edges. It's also important to make sure they are thoroughly dried beforehand since the closed construction of the block does not provide good ventilation for knives. Preserving the quality of the blades also involves using cutting boards correctly. Wooden and bamboo boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are definitively not. Additionally, it's important to avoid cutting frozen products, bones, or immersing the blade in boiling water during the thermal processing of prepared dishes. For kitchen knives that are not used for a long time, you can apply camellia oil to keep the blade in good condition. Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the benefits of 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) wrapped in 32-layer stainless steel, making the knife blade reliable. The hardness of the knives is around 61 HRC +/-. The handle is made of laminated red pakka wood, which beautifully complements the layered pattern on the blade and provides a secure grip. Mcusta Zanmai Mcusta is a Japanese company founded in 1964, specializing in the production of high-quality kitchen knives. Their knives have gained worldwide recognition, allowing users to enjoy professional-quality blades both at home and in a professional setting. The word "ZANMAI" is synonymous with luxury, which has significant importance in the production of each knife. In the initial stages, the knives are laser-cut from steel sheets, resulting in high hardness. They are then cold-forged, which increases the steel's density, wear resistance, and the aforementioned hardness. The key to the quality of Mcusta knives is their manual assembly, emphasizing their quality and uniqueness.
