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 -I like cutting bread with my Gyuto because it doesn’t make a lot of crumbs. But sometimes you need serrations to cut super crusty sourdough loaves or freshly baked French baguettes. This is really just for cutting bread, not your tomatoes! That’s what your other knives are for.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Love this knife!

"Bought this one for homemade sourdough specifically, cuts like a dream! Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping me decide on the perfect fit for my needs."

— Kelsey G. (5/5)

Beautiful Knife

"I recently purchased 4 Mcusta Zanmai knives on a trip to Japan. and i purchased a chef's carry bag, which had an additional slot for another knife, so I thought I might as well get the bread knife. the quality of these knives are exceptional, extremely sharp, well weighted, and look great. very happy with my purchase."

Mcusta Zanmai Knives.

"We, wife, daughter (received 5 maybe 6 as gifts), a friend (who has received 4 knives as gifts) all appreciate the weight, balance and craftsmanship of these tools."

— Ernest L. (5/5)

Did Not Disappoint

"I have a love hate relationship with bread knives. A great sharp one can make all the difference in the world...but since I have never figured out how to sharpen one, I have always considered them somewhat "disposable". I wanted a great quality knife...but refused to consider an extremely pricy serated blade. I decided on this Zanmai. It is even better looking in person and it performs wonderfully. This one will make me want to figure out how to resharpen when the time comes!"

— Scott W. (5/5)

Best Bread knife ever

"This knife makes cutting my sourdough so easy. It never wrecks the crumb of the bread even when it is fresh out of the oven!! I have never owned a knife like this and I hope that I will be able to add more to my collection!! It was probably the best impulse buy I’ve ever made."

— Jessica L. (5/5)
