MCUSTA - Damascus series
|
The Mcusta Damascus Series of kitchen knives feature a beautiful floating mist pattern that has been created by forging 32 layers of steel around a core of VG10 Supersteel.
When picking the knife up, you can feel the power of the knife as the weight has been balanced perfectly. Handles The Pakkawood handles are hardwood veneers which have been impregnated with phenolic thermosetting resins. Under intense heat and pressure, multiple layers of these treated hardwoods are fused into a solid, homogeneous block of material that is:
Signature handles made of exotic materials including cocobolo wood, Chinese quince burl, DuPont corean ivory, African ebony and black pakkawood are available. Special tempering technique Much is said about HRC (hardness) of knives - hard blades can also be brittle. Yet MCUSTA use a special vacuous kiln for tempering which gives superior strength as well as hardness. The feeling of strength and rigidity is first conveyed from the moment you pick up a MCUSTA. Superior cutting edge MCUSTA have developed a special edge grind which gives a uniquely superior cutting finish. The MCUSTA knife is not a single sided blade, though it does have a slight bias to one side. This is finished with a 1mm bevel which gives you precise and accurate cuts. Various MCUSTA knives have been given to leading Chefs here in the UK to trial and the response has been very positive. Trade, Wholesale and individual orders are accepted by Irashai Services Ltd. MCUSTA knives are also available for purchase from the HERE organic supermarket in Chelsea. For further information, please contact Irashai Services Ltd on 01628 636082. |
