Mcusta Zanmai’s Modern Molybdenum series is a high-quality, economic option for any professional or home chef looking for Japanese blade performance with a steel responsive enough for quick and easy honing. This combination of design, cost, fit and finish, and ease-of-maintenance makes the Modern Molybdenum perfect for high-volume commercial kitchens.
The blade is made from AUS8A (aka 8A), which centers on molybdenum and vanadium rich stainless-steel alloy. Molybdenum and vanadium are added to a stainless-steel alloy to enhance the steel’s anti-corrosion, durability, edge retention, and overall hardness. Once the steel reaches the right temperature the steel is hand drawn by skilled craftsmen. This results in a razor-sharp edge and an overall finish Mcusta Zanmai is proud to create, and Perfect Edge is proud to offer.
