About Mcusta Zanmai Flame -

Mcusta knives are straight-up beautiful. In addition to their stunning damascus finish, they produce a wide array of shapes that cover every job you’ll need a knife for in the kitchen. 

The handles incorporate more steel than many Japanese blades, much like the full tang handles we’re used to. Combined with their incredibly high-performance steel, you get a blade capable of extreme precision and sharpness with a confident, recognizable feel in hand. As a result, these knives are especially beloved by both professional chefs and home cooks who are making the transition to Japanese steel from a background with German knives. 

Mcusta is a family business specializing in creating the best luxury blades, from kitchen knives to scissors. While most factory-made knives are stamped out from steel, Mcusta laser cuts their knives to create their trademark blades as precisely as possible. After the blades are cut, all the assembly and sharpening is done by hand to ensure an excellent fit and finish.

About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife, Gyutos are a multi purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. “Gyuto” translates to “cow sword.” If you want one knife to do it all, This is it. Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.
