MCUSTA Zanmai Damascus Chopper 180mm

180mm Chopper

Combining the comfort of the Mcusta Hexagon series handle with the beauty of a damascus stainless steel blade, Mcusta have created their very first Chuka Bocho.

Many Asian chefs (and a few western chefs in the know) use this style of chopper as a multipurpose knife, instead of a gyuto. A thin, sharp blade and additional weight slices and dices with minimal effort. Extra height gives acres of knuckle clearance and allows ease of cutting taller foods. And there is slight curve in the blade that allows for a small rocking motion when called for.

This is a thin style of chopper suitable for fine slicing as well as all the dicing and mincing your heart desires.

Note: this chopper is not designed to cut through bones. If this is what you are after, look at the HK chopper.

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.
