Mcusta Zanmai Corian Santoku 180mm

Mcusta Zanmai knives embody the perfect balance of Japanese craftsmanship and modern innovation. Handcrafted in Seki City—Japan’s legendary knife-making hub—each Zanmai knife reflects centuries of blade-making tradition, refined with contemporary precision engineering.

Forged from high-performance steels like VG10 and SG2, Mcusta Zanmai blades offer exceptional edge retention, sharpness, and durability. Their signature Damascus patterns and mirror-polished finishes enhance both beauty and function, making them a standout choice for chefs and enthusiasts alike.

Mcusta Zanmai is a subset of Marusho Industry Inc. and, to this day, is a family business. The current president, Tomohiro Hasegawa took over from his father and together they have been at the forefront of modernizing Japanese knife making with the latest machines and modern material while maintaining age-old Japanese traditions. Their knives are laser-cut, hand assembled and hand finished to ensure near perfection.
As the Elder Hasegawa-San puts it, "...our master craftsmen infuse all our products with the pride and traditions inherited from centuries of Japanese blade makers"

KNIFE was the first place in Canada to offer Mcusta Zanmai knives over 16 years ago, bringing their refined craftsmanship to a new audience. Since then, these knives have remained a cornerstone of our collection, admired for their seamless fusion of tradition and innovation. 

The Santoku is the Japanese version of the all purpose knife. "Three virtues". Meat, fish and veg. Use a push and slice motion on this knife. Enjoy.
