Inspired by the classic design that first came out of Japan, the 18cm Mcusta Zanmai Supreme Ripple Santoku knife has a thinner blade and flat bottom, making it ideal for cutting vegetables, fish, and meat. 
Similar to a classic chef’s knife in its utility, the Santoku knife is slightly shorter and lighter, making it a favorite amongst people who are new to cooking or prefer to use a chop or slice type cut.
The 18cm Mcusta Zanmai Supreme Ripple Santoku knife is an everyday knife you’ll love to use.

ザンマイ シュープリーム 波目  

The Mcusta Zanmai Supreme Ripple knives are made from 33 layers of Damascus steel and feature a very tough high carbon VG-10 steel core inside.
The completely mirror-polished, very sharp and robust blades of the line have a damask grain and a hand-applied rippling technique in the upper area. 
The unique Ripple pattern is originally created by the Zanmai technology, which you may never find it in the world.The design represents ocean and shore line. It's associated with a Japanese traditional picture in the Edo era.

Like in every Mcusta Zanmai knife, the edge which can reach 9°, is finished in Zanmai's perfect Hamaguri V-Cut form, making it incredibly sharp and the ideal structure to cut food effortlessly. 

The high-quality octagonal handle (Hokkaku shape) is made of red-black Pakka wood, it has an antibacterial ferrule (Tsuba) made of stainless steel and a stainless steel pin surrounded by abalone (snail shell).

Visually, a real eye-catcher, from Seki Japan.
