Mcusta Zanmai Beyond Aogami Super Sujihiki 27 cm

The Mcusta Zanmai Beyond Sujihiki 27 cm is a Japanese slicing knife engineered for flawless, single-stroke carving. A three-layer san-mai (laminated) blade with an Aogami Super core delivers scalpel-like sharpness, while stainless cladding eases maintenance. The octagonal hinoki handle offers confident, fatigue-free control.

Other Useful Information

Maintenance Tips

Carbon steel rewards you with legendary sharpness but needs care:

1. Dry the blade fully after each use; moisture or acids (citrus, onion) speed up corrosion.
2. Never dish-wash—heat and detergents can soften the edge and stain the handle.
3. For discoloration removal, use a non-abrasive cream cleanser and a soft sponge.
