KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Utility Knife 16.5 cm - Damascus Steel - Pakkawood Handle
KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series All-Purpose Knife 16.5 cm / Handle made of dark Pakkawood
The KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer All-Purpose Knife is the unsung hero in every kitchen. Often underestimated, with doubts about its usefulness. When using this knife, it quickly becomes clear that the narrow and tapered blade allows for more than excellent work.
The 16.5 cm long blade of the KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer All-Purpose Knife is made of a VG-Max steel core, wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination gives the all-purpose knife enormous sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. In numerical terms, the blade reaches an impressive +/- 61 HRC. An elaborate hammering surface, known in Japan as Tsuchime, is worked into the blade up to the middle. This creates a 3-part texture on the blade, which also makes the all-purpose knife a true eye-catcher.
Such an elaborately crafted blade demands an equally worthy handle. And the medium-brown, grained Pakkawood handle with a length of 10.5 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. Nevertheless, 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 Bulls forms the magnificent finish 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.
