Mcusta Zanmai. £500 a knife anyone?

Mcusta Zanmai sit at the very highest end of Japanese knives and are phenomenally expensive, but the quality is exceptional. These are beautifully made knives aimed very much at the connoisseur, available in numerous steels, finishes, blade styles and handle combinations.

Generally, the blade geometry and quality are absolutely superb, although we have serviced some of their longer sashimi-style knives that are unusually thick through the taper. This is something we don't normally expect to see on a Japanese knife at this level.

Nevertheless, Mcusta Zanmai knives are exceptional cutting tools, beautifully finished and capable of taking a superb edge.
