Mcusta Paring Hybrid Splash 90mm (3.5″)

Mcusta Paring Hybrid Splash is another beautiful kitchen knife, cut out from the beams of Mcusta’s lasers, and then sharpened to a razor-edge sharpness by hand. It got its name (Splash) due to the very pronounced Damascus pattern on the blade, making every single blade a unique piece of art, so this knife is a great choice for all the Damascus lovers out there.

A paring knife is a small and highly versatile kitchen knife. Paring knives offer more dexterity, precision, and maneuverability than the larger, multi-purpose knives, therefore its main tasks are peeling, slicing, and trimming. Due to its short blade, it is best suited for in-hand usage, it does not have enough knuckle clearance to use the knife on the cutting board.

Hybrid Splash features a more simplistic, but very ergonomic handle, made of non-slip pakka wood. Small textures on the hexagon-shaped handle prevent our hands from slipping, even with wet hands. A simple, yet aesthetic luminescent pin holds the full-tang handle securely in place, while the stainless bolster attaches perfectly to the handle, featuring a decorative red spacer. 

About Mcusta Zanmai:
Mcusta Zanmai has an interesting (and very high tech) philosophy of knife manufacturing. With their 800-year tradition of making knives, they decided to incorporate traditional knife craftsmanship knowledge into their own custom-made machines. Mcusta is the only knife manufacturer who uses laser machines to cut out the knives, instead of stamping the knives out of the steel sheet. Due to this process, their blades are less susceptible to structural stresses in the steel, making them the most innovative and modern knife maker in Japan.

Handles and pins are milled to the precision of 1/1000mm with their high-quality CNC machines. Every knife is then inspected and assembled by hand. The final (sharp) edge is sharpened by Mcusta’s team of master craftsmen to get a very good out-of-the-box sharpness. 

☝️ Fun fact: Mcusta is a made-up word – a combination of Machine and custom!
