                ■ZANMAI 2P Big Handle limited version (Currently US only)

At this time, we announce to provide this special version to the customers. As you know, we already have several types of kitchen knives like ZANMAI, ZANMAI PRO and so on. When new series are created, we always think about the design, such as the whole weight, the figure and the handle design. These design are based on the customers request, the trend or the ergonomic theory. Actually, there are a lot of responses to our current products lines. But sometimes there is a case happened not to cover all requests the customers persue. Because each people has a different characteristics, preferance and approach. Behind the scene, the reason why we create this series is one of them. Some people prefer a big handle to implement their job because of the balance and the feeling of grip. As a matter of fact, we got this kind of feedback from some customers. That's why we decided to add this series as the limited edition into our lines. Now we can supply just a few quantity of the kitchen knives. Also, we have the 3 different types of 2 different blade of the kitchen knives. We don't have enough inventory with regard to those one. Please inquire these stock to this address below. We need to take time to get it to you. Thank you for your understanding.

■Handle Features

Relying on years of experience and experimentation, we grind our handles into elaborate and ergonomic 3D forms according to our own proprietary method. We create innovative new shapes that not only feel perfect in your hand but also improve your efficiency in the kitchen.

We use a distinctive nickel-silver material for our bolsters - just another luxury touch to complement our already beautiful knives. We grind the nickel-silver into bolsters according to our own proprietary technique, using our own leading edge machines.

The handles on our MCUSTA PRO series are available in 3 different materials: Black Pakkawood; Ivory Corian; and Chinese Quince Wood. We chose these fine materials for their superior properties and aesthetic qualities - because a truly superior knife should not only perform well but also look beautiful. We are confident you will find one that suits your particular taste and specifications.

Superior Grinding Technique We have developed our proprietary grinding technique through years of experience and innovation, and it is with great pride that we introduce the MCUSTA PRO handle to the North American market.

■Blade Features

The MCUSTA PRO series features 2 different blade options.

As with our ZANMAI PRO series, all our MCUSTA PRO blade edges are ground according to traditional HAMAGURI (convex) form. The HAMAGURI blade is the ideal form for cutting food, as it maintains an extremely sharp edge while ensuring ultimate strength.

The MIZUTO water stone process is performed only by skilled craftsmen.

Final Edging Process Our skilled craftsmen perform the final edging on each and every one of our knives. This is a process that can only be done by hand - ensuring that only the highest quality knives leave the MCUSTA workshop.

■Original decorative box

The MCUSTA PRO series comes in this fine decorative box, featuring the distinctive MCUSTA logo and lined with a custom-molded polyurethane insert to keep your knife safe and secure.
