Features of the Zanmai Custom

The new petty knives from Mcusta Zanmai offer a glimpse of what is coming later this year. A new concept in which you can assemble a fully custom knife yourself. This includes choosing the model, the handle, the blade, and even the screws that hold everything together.

For now, this small preview consists of several fully assembled petty knives, created to showcase what will be possible.

Rainbow Damascus

Rainbow Damascus is a type of Damascus steel that stands out for its striking, colorful appearance. It is popular among knifemakers and collectors for both its aesthetic beauty and performance. The core is often made from VG10 or SLD steel.

Various techniques can be used to create this colorful pattern, including heat treatment, electrochemical etching, and PVD coating. The type of steel used in the outer layers also plays an important role; for example, carbon steel will develop a patina over time or they use steels like copper that have a natural color, this all enhances the visual effect. The result is a visually stunning knife that is highly sought after by enthusiasts.

Elwin de Veld about Zanmai Mcusta

President Tomohiro Hasegawa, is young compared to other knife factory owners in Seki region. The company itself is also relatively young in the tradition of knife makers. Making chef knives now for a little more then 10 years, the focus was was always on scissors and pocket knives. All knowledge in the past years gained is passed to the new generation. This combined with new technologies makes Zanmai a well respected knifemaker.

"We are classmates", as Tomo san always refers to when we meet. Both born in 1974, living the knife life and passionated in what we do: Zanmai!
