Mcusta Nakiri Damascus Classic D 165mm (6.5″)

These exquisite knives showcase a captivating stainless damascus pattern in combination with an opulent white Corian handle, exuding an aura of luxury that infuses every cut with boundless inspiration.

Mcusta Nakiri Damascus Classic D is a great performing kitchen knife, made from the popular VG-10 steel, clad into 33 layers of softer, stainless Damascus steel. 

BLADE SHAPE:
Nakiri knives are made for one purpose – chopping vegetables. With its flat, thin, and tall blade profile, it makes nakiri the best tool for the chopping technique. If you prepare and cook a lot of veggies, but already have a knife for cutting meat/fish (or you are a vegan/vegetarian), a nakiri knife is a great choice for your needs. 

HANDLE:
Mcusta Nakiri Damascus Classic D is a full-tang nakiri, attached to the ergonomic white Corian handle. Three rivets hold the knife securely attached to the handle. A stainless bolster is added for a smooth transition from the blade to the handle.

The flat ejiri, a bottom part of the handle, has a function – it can be used for crushing garlic and other ingredients.

BLACKSMITH:
Mcusta Zanmai has an interesting (and very high tech) philosophy of knife manufacturing. With their 800-year tradition of making knives, they decided to incorporate traditional knife craftsmanship knowledge into their own custom-made machines. Mcusta is the only knife manufacturer who uses laser machines to cut out the knives, instead of stamping the knives out of the steel sheet. Due to this process, their blades are less susceptible to structural stresses in the steel, making them the most innovative and modern knife maker in Japan.

Handles and pins are milled to the precision of 1/1000mm with their high-quality CNC machines. Every knife is then inspected and assembled by hand. The final (sharp) edge is sharpened by Mcusta’s team of master craftsmen to get a very good out-of-the-box sharpness. 

 Fun fact: Mcusta is a made-up word – a combination of Machine and custom!
