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.

Knife Care

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.
