Mcusta Gyuto Supreme Twisted 210mm (8.2″)

Mcusta Gyuto Supreme Twisted is a unique looking Chef’s knife. Gyuto blade shape is the Japanese version of the chef’s knife, so this knife will fit well into the hands of both the professional chef or the passionate home cook. With its thin blade, typical for all Mcusta knives, it will slice through your veggies, meat, and fish with ease and almost without any applied pressure to the knife.

The knife brings together an old forging tradition and the most advanced Japanese technology. Mcusta knives are laser cut and sharpened by hand. The blending of ultra-modern technology and precise processing by hand provides state-of-the-art design, perfect knife balance and superior out-of-the-box sharpness. 

The traditional single-steel blade (monosteel) with a VG-10 steel core (61 HRC) is easy to resharpen and retains an edge for a very long time. This keeps things simple and reliable. The blade is ground on both sides (at a ratio of 50/50) and can be used by right- and left-handed users.

It has a double bevel (symmetrical) blade with convex (full hamaguri) grind. Hamaguri grind allows superior sharpness that requires delicate handling and helps to prevent food from sticking to the blade. Such a shape keeps a lot of metal behind the edge and makes for a stronger edge, yet it still allows a good degree of sharpness. The downside to a convex grind is that it is very hard to reproduce by anyone other than a very experienced sharpener.

The blade has a high polish finish (also called migaki) and lends itself well to the finest and most delicate cuts.

The steel in the Supreme Twisted knife goes all the way to the tip of the octagonal handle made of unique and durable twisted red pakkawood with a phenol resin coating for superb handling and robustness. It also offers a firm, yet comfortable grip. The handle is where the innovation is.

Supreme Twisted is a luxury line of Mcusta’s knives. Minimalist design of the blade combined with a one-of-a-kind handle will catch the attention of all knife buffs and collectors of Japanese blades. The knife comes with a traditional bamboo gift packaging. 👉  Do you wish to bring a smile on the face of a finicky cook that also loves all things beautiful? You just found a perfect gift.

Laser-cut by custom machines developed by Mcusta, this monosteel gyuto is made of stainless and great performing, easy to resharpen, VG-10 steel. A simple-looking, high polished blade with no extra features, designed to put the focus on the uniquely shaped twisted handle.
