    About Mcusta Zanmai 三昧

    Mcusta Zanmai is based in Seki City of Japan, a town with over 800 years of swordsmithing history. While embracing Seki's blade making traditions, Zanmai is also bringing innovative technologies such as CNC machine and laser cutting into the workshop, making the brand a rare and seamless integration of craftsman traditions and modern technologies. Zanmai knives have unique handles that not only pay homage to traditional Wa handle design, but also brining innovations such as high temperature compressed layers of natural Pakkawood to create polished and strong handles. Zanmai's laser cutting of VG10 steel produces high precision finish on monosteel blades. Mcusta craftsmen finish each knife on Japanese Waterstones to give their knives refined looks.

    Care:

    Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

    Cutting Surface:

    Wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

    Sharpening:

    We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

    Great for my Sheprador
    Size: Large (Pack of 1)
    Dog loves it and it's indestructible. Dog loves chewing on it. The little spot to add treats gives the toy a great life as a distraction while I'm gone. It bounces pretty well too. It's cute but I wish this size had different colors. Black gets lost in my house easily.

    Tough!
    Size: Large (Pack of 1)
    Our dog is a chewer! Fabric toys don’t last - he enjoys ripped them apart. This lasts quite a while. I do watch it because after sometime (month or so), he does get it start separating. He actually got it in half once (looked “interesting” on my floor when we found it and made for a good laugh). We will continue to buy them.

    GOOD CHOICE FOR A SUPER CHEWER
    Size: Large (Pack of 1), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
    Pretty good choice, but for a super power chewer like my 2 year old ROTT, nothing can stand up to her ! This bone usually lasts her about 2-3 weeks, but we only let her have it a few hours a day to keep her busy.

    Average size but very durable
    Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
    My dog broke new bones within an hour of opening them. He is a lab so strong chewer. We bought a Kong tug toy months ago….zero rips, tears or knicks at all so when looking for a bone option, Kong is where we went. So far so good after two days. The rubber chewing sound can get annoying but totally worth it to not worry about it breaking and my dog choking on it or hurting him in some way. Safety was a priority and Kong nailed it. I was hoping it would be a bit bigger based on pictures but it fits his mouth just fine. Being rubber, it is a bit heavy and clunky it your dog likes to retrieve like mine, but if you don’t mind the thud, it is not bad to toss. My dog loves it and it’s is holding up so we are both happy
