Zanmai Supreme Twisted
We present you another series of Zanmai knives with the Supreme attribute. With this stamp, the manufacturer marks only the purest of the most well-bred pieces from his breeding. The knives meet the strictest criteria for material, workmanship, ergonomics, performance and aesthetics. Not coincidentally, they were the first choice of the top chefs at Culinary Academy Yves Thuries.
Japanese knives are characterized by their layered blades. Their production is, of course, more demanding, which corresponds adequately to the price. However, not everyone is ready to invest a significant amount in a quality knife. For those manufacturers prepare simpler versions made of a single layer of ordinary steel. This creates knives similar to the European ones, intended for domestic use.
But we also come across single-layer blades, for which none of the text in the above paragraph applies. Paradoxically, these are usually much more expensive knives sought after by real professionals. Their blades are made of extra hard materials, which in the case of layered blades form only the cores themselves. The result is robust, heavy-duty monolithic blades. The higher price reflects not only the value of the material, but also the complexity of its processing.
We have just introduced you to the category in which the targets are determined by Zanmai Supreme Twisted knives. Their blade cut by laser are made of the highest quality stainless steel you could wish for. Undoubtedly, it is Super Stainless Steel, V-Gold 10 Steel, V-Kin 10 Steel, or whatever you want to name the well-known VG-10. It is certainly useless to talk about the high carbon content, cobalt admixtures and other top parameters of this material coming directly from Takefu Special Steel. VG-10 is chronically known for lovers of Japanese knives.
Even in the case of this series, you will not lose the proven shape of the Hamaguri edge, which in combination with the monolithic construction of the VG-10 blade creates an ideal cutting tool. It is a double-sided edge resembling the letter "V", but with convex curves that lend the blade a longer life. At the same time, it retains the sharpness of the razor, so the cleanliness of the cut is guaranteed. This seemingly insignificant detail is important in intensive use. That's exactly what the Supreme Twisted knife is for
intended. It's unbelievable to see how the edges of the red stabilized pakka wood pass precisely into those milled bolster from alloy of nickel and silver. This only confirms the state-of-the-art technology and attention to detail of Marusho Industries Inc. The handle is aesthetically decorated with trim rivet.
Knives in this class cannot be packed other than in luxury paulownia wood cassettes. It will be up to you to re-insert the knives or purchase a traditional saya wooden sheath. You will find a rich selection of these cases in the Blade case section.
It is our honor to supply Mcusta Zanmai Supreme Twisted knives to Culinary Academy Yves Thuries.
