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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use.
