kitchen knife made in Japan

■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.
