KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Bread Knife 23 cm - Damascus Steel - Pakkawood Handle

KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series Bread Knife 23 cm / Handle made of dark Pakkawood

We love handmade products and enjoy cutting our bread with a beautiful bread knife, whether it has a serrated or wavy edge. The KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer bread knife has gained quite a few fans at Butch.

The 23 cm long blade of the KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer bread knife with a wavy edge is made of a VG-Max steel core, wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination gives the bread knife an enormous sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. In numerical terms, the blade has an impressive hardness of +/- 61 HRC. An elaborate hammer-finished surface, known as Tsuchime in Japan, is worked into the blade up to the middle, creating a three-part texture that makes the bread knife a true eye-catcher.

Such an elaborately crafted blade demands an equally worthy handle. The medium-brown, grained Pakkawood handle with a length of 12 cm is just as impressive as 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 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.
