MCUSTA ZANMAI

Marusho Industry Inc. - a company producing sophisticated Mcusta pocket knives, luxury Zanmai kitchen knives and iconic Silky scissors - is located in the center of Japanese cutlery, in the city of Seki. The city gained this position in the middle of the 13th century thanks to the sand with a rich content of iron ore, quality peat and water source. These were the reasons why the renowned swordsmith Motoshige moved to this area from the island of Kyushu. During the Muromachi period (1338-1573), more than 300 blacksmiths worked in Seki. Among the most famous were Kanemoto Magoroku and Saburo Shizu. Seki swords quickly gained a reputation throughout Japan.

Marusho was founded in 1964. Today it is run by the grandson of the founder and his family. It operates

one of the most advanced knife factories not only in Seki, but throughout entire Japan. Thanks to advanced technologies (laser cutters, CNC milling machines, 3D CAD / CAM projection), the company produces products reworked down to the smallest details. The best example is Zanmai kitchen knives. But without manual finalization by experienced craftsmen, the products would be far from perfect. Zanmai means Luxury in Japanese. However, this word is actually derived from the Sanskrit "Samadhi", which is an expression for the process of meditation leading to maximum concentration on the object. It is not known how deep the Hasegawa clan engages in meditation, but one thing is more than clear. Their knives are consciously tightened to the highest luxury. On the recommendation of our friend Tomohiro Hasegawa, we bring you the best of Zanmai's portfolio:
