115mm Steak Knife

We all take a great deal of pride in selecting the best piece of meat for the bbq, letting it come to room temperature before grilling (over charcoal I hope), cooking to your own liking and resting well before serving.

It takes a lotta love to cook a perfect steak and all that attention can be ruined in an instant by tearing it apart with that old serrated steak knife you got free from Demtel . Beautiful steak demands better. The MCUSTA Zanmai steak knife will gently slice your favourite cuts, preserving the juices and flavour you demand.

  • Totally seamless integration of blade all the way through the bolster to the stainless steel end cap.
  • Stunning fit and finish as you would expect from MCUSTA Zanmai.

Care Instructions

Knife care for stainless steel knives

  • Never put in the dishwasher.
  • Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
  • Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
  • Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
  • Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
