MCUSTA Zanmai Hachi 210mm Chef Knife

210mm Chef Knife

We highly recommend buying a 210mm chef knife as your main knife in the kitchen. It is long enough to handle most tasks and short enough for most people to easily control. A clever person could also use it to fillet a fish.

Zanmai Hachi Series

This range from MCUSTA is pretty awesome for the price. The blade is made from totally respectable AUS8 stainless steel enhanced with molybdenum and vanadium.

The transition from blade to handle is totally seamless. The sculptured ergonomic handles are made from black pakkawood, perfectly milled and attached to a full tang with strong rivits. The Zanmai signature heel plate gives this budget series a luxurious feel.
