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, however due to its 240mm (9.5″) blade length, it will mostly be used in a professional environment. 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.
Laser-cut by custom machines developed by Mcusta, this monosteel gyuto is made of stainless and great performing, easy to resharpen, VG-10. A simple-looking, high polished blade with no extra features, designed to put the focus on the uniquely shaped twisted handle.

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. |
Supreme Twisted is a full-tang gyuto knife, attached to the never seen before octagon-shaped, twisted red pakka wood handle, allowing for a comfortable and firm grip. A mosaic pin was added to the middle of the handle, a small detail that makes this knife even more special. A stainless bolster was added for a smooth transition from the blade to the handle.
☝️ All knives from the Supreme Twisted collection are packed in a luxury kiri box (made of paulownia wood), so these knives will make for a great gift. Just don’t forget to attach a coin to it when presenting the gift!
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!
