These knives are for the cook who wants a seriously sexy knife with no maintenance. With a thick spine and tough blade, Mcusta Zanmai knives are like kitchen bling with added practicality. Many people are awed with these knives as they are a real eye catcher that literally falls through food with very little effort. Thirty-two layers of Damascus steel and a stunning handle will ensure this.

Based in Seki City, Mcusta is a family business that specializes in creating the best luxury blades. While most factory-made knives are stamped out from steel, Mcusta laser cuts their knives. The assembly is finished by hand to ensure quality. To quote their website directly: “...It has sticking to which the compromise is not permitted, and the making of a sensibility degree high potato is pursued.” We don’t really know what it means, but we think that the knives cut like a dream.
