MCUSTA Hexagon VG10 180mm Gyuto

180mm Gyuto - Japanese Chef Knife

Every kitchen should have a chef knife in the knife drawer. The 18cm chef knife is popular with those who are not as confident with larger sizes.

Zanmai Hexagon VG10 Series

MCUSTA excel in producing knives from VG10 steel. Unclad VG10 steel is very difficult to handle but the MCUSTA laser cut VG10 blades are exceptionally strong. These knives are all about the details:

• A single piece of hardened VG10 steel is attached to a hexagonal handle that gently transforms into a rounded hilt.
• The legendary MCUSTA offset hamaguri edge grind gives greater accuracy.
• The nickel silver bolster is softened with rounded edges and attaches seamlessly to the handle with a decorative red spacer.
• A stainless steel pin secures the handle to the blade encircled by radiant luminescence.

Non-Slip Handles

Pakkawood is one of the great innovations of modern knife making but when polished it can be a little slippery. MCUSTA hexagonal handles are lightly textured so not only does it feel like real wood but no matter how wet your hands are the handle remains non-slip. Very comfortable and a pleasure to hold.

MCUSTA use a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern day technology to create blades that are both beautiful in use and aesthetic.
