Prima Gyuto Ziricote

Renowned knife designer Jens Anso takes up his wooden spoon and drawing board and conjures up a full-bodied menu of the finest chef's knives for gourmets with the MKM Prima series. The versatile gyuto is a typical Japanese kitchen knife for preparing vegetables, fruit, fish and meat. It is often compared to the European chef's knife because of its similar dimensions. Compared to the better-known Santoku, the Gyuto has a longer and narrower blade, which is particularly beneficial for precise cutting of large items. In this version, the MKM Gyuto is equipped with a cutting blade made of X50CrMoV15 with a hardness of 55-57 HRC. Typical Anso is the handle made of ziricote wood, which eliminates the usual conventions in favor of modern, angular lines.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
