Japanese for “luxury” or “indulgence” you will find the Zanmai Classic Pro series to be just that. Premium VG10 San Mai Damascus delivers a blade that looks as good as it performs while the black Pakkawood composite handle offers a familiar natural wood feel with the added benefit of modern composite materials. For chefs of all levels or cooking enthusiasts the Zanmai Classic Pro Gyuto is a satisfying tool to the hand and the eye.

Brand new, direct from Mcusta.

Literally “cow blade,” the Gyuto is a thinner, Japanese equivalent of the Western chef’s knife. A versatile design, the Gyuto is suitable for slicing, carving, chopping, and detailed food preparation chores.

Blade: The fully flat ground blade is San Mai Damascus stainless steel with VG10 core for style and performance. The outer layers protect and support the hardened steel center layer that forms the blade’s edge. The Gyuto has a fine tip for detail work and a long (240 mm) thin blade excellent for slicing, carving and chopping large volumes of vegetables.

Handle: The modified European style handle has a hidden tang construction for clean aesthetics with a durable black Pakkawood framed by red liners and attached with two stainless pins and a single mosaic pin. A stainless steel butt cap and bolster round out construction for a lightweight and well-balanced handle.

San Mai Damascus: Three layer sandwich construction consists of a VG10 core, a high-carbon Japanese stainless steel popular in Japanese kitchen knives, and outer cladding of 33 layer nickel Damascus for unique visual appeal along with enhanced toughness and corrosion resistance.
