KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer 2-piece set with utility and chef's knife - Damascus steel - Pakkawood handle
KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series 2-Piece Set with All-Purpose and Chef's Knife / Handle made of Dark Pakkawood
It all starts with a chef's knife, then comes the all-purpose knife. And eventually, all the other knives. This is how relationships between humans and kitchen knives begin. And here comes the speed date: the 2-piece KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Set consisting of an all-purpose and chef's knife.
The 16.5 cm long blade of the all-purpose knife and the 20 cm long blade of the chef's knife in the KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series are made of a VG-Max steel core, wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination gives the knives incredible sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. In numbers, the blade reaches an impressive +/- 61 HRC hardness. An elaborate hammer-finished surface, known as Tsuchime in Japan, is worked into the blade up to the middle. This creates a 3-part texture on the blade, making the knives visually stunning as well.
Such an elaborately crafted blade demands an equally worthy handle. And the medium-brown, grained Pakkawood handle with a length of 10.5 cm and 12 cm is no less impressive than the blade. The symmetrical and ergonomic handle shape fits the hand perfectly, whether you cut with your left or right hand. Thanks to the applied lamination, the wooden handle is very resistant to liquids. However, the knife should not be exposed to long water baths or even a dishwasher. A steel plate with an engraving of Tim Mälzer's kitchen bull is the magnificent finishing touch of the knife.
The packaging is just as successful as the knife: each KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer knife is securely nestled in a wooden box.
The KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series is undoubtedly one of the top series from the Japanese knife forge. Whether you like Tim Mälzer or not, the knives are really cool. To put it in Tim Mälzer slang.
