MKM Prima Kitchen Knives FAQ

Designed in collaboration with Danish custom maker Jens Anso, the MKM Prima series pairs Japanese-inspired culinary profiles with ergonomic Italian craftsmanship. These full-tang kitchen tools are engineered for comfortable balance across daily prep tasks and table service.

What knife styles are available in the MKM Prima series?
The MKM Prima kitchen series includes a Gyuto chef knife, a 7.5-inch Santoku, a 4-inch paring knife, and a two-piece steak knife set. Designed by Jens Anso, each model translates Japanese blade silhouettes into practical culinary tools to cover everything from major chopping tasks to table dining.
What is the difference between the MKM Prima Gyuto and Santoku?
The MKM Prima Gyuto has a longer blade with a pronounced belly curve built for rocking cuts, functioning similarly to a Western chef knife. In contrast, the 7.5-inch Santoku features a flatter edge profile and a clipped tip, making it better suited for direct push cuts and chopping with less risk of catching the tip.
What blade steel does the MKM Prima series use?
MKM Prima knives are made from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This alloy provides high rust resistance and excellent toughness for daily kitchen tasks, making the blades resilient against chipping and very easy to hone back to a sharp edge.
How are the handles on MKM Prima knives shaped?
The handles feature contoured wood scales, available in Ziricote or Olive wood, that swell in the center and taper toward the fingers for a secure grip. MKM crowns the spine and rounds the edges around the exposed tang, ensuring comfortable ergonomics in both standard and pinch grips.
What makes the MKM Prima paring knife unique?
The MKM Prima paring knife features a 4-inch curved blade designed so the entire cutting edge can make full contact with a cutting board. This allows it to handle small slicing and chopping jobs like a miniature chef knife while remaining compact enough for in-hand peeling.
