Zanmai Pro Damascus Gyuto SE with Black Lacquer Saya Cover

The Gyuto is the western equivalent of the chef knife and the quintessential knife choice for most chefs. Japanese Western Style chef knives, gyutos, are typically lighter in weight and thinner behind the edge than their European style counterparts making them geared toward precision cuts and sharp cutting edges.

JB Prince Exclusive!

We continue to collaborate with Mcusta in Japan to craft series of knives that meet the demands of the professional kitchen with a distinct and signature look. The Zanmai Pro Damascus SE is fitted with an eye catching black handle that is speckled with white and blue accents. The DuPont Corian handles are a unique choice and an extremely stable material in moist conditions. This eliminates expansion and contraction of handle material ensuring a consistent fit and finish.  The transition from the handles to the blades are uniquely tapered to increase comfort and control when pinch gripping the knife. They are precision laser cut, not stamped, from 33 layers of Damascus steel with a VG-10 core. This blade material provides excellent edge retention qualities and is extremely sharp. These knives are all expertly ground in Seki City, Japan for efficient cutting and blade strength. It includes a traditional saya cover that has been accented with a black lacquer textured finish to match the tones of the knives’ handles and offers the ultimate in blade protection while transporting or storing your gear. These knives have some of the best elements of Japanese knife making tradition and are sure to be lasting favorites in your kit.
