KAI Shun Premier Tim Kiritsuke 15 cm limited - Damascus Steel - Pakkawood Handle

Tim Mälzer, the most famous TV chef on German television, is a testimonial for the Shun Premier series by KAI. More than enough is written about Tim Mälzer, we will tell you something about the knife series, for which he is the namesake.

The blades of the KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer knives are made of VG-MAX steel, encased in 32 layers of stainless steel in Damascus style. The hard core reaches a hardness level of 61(±1) HRC. The edge is symmetrical and very finely ground, giving the knives a tremendous sharpness. But beware: finely ground edges are sensitive to hard cutting material. Therefore, please only cut fish, meat, vegetables, fruit and similar with the knives. Under no circumstances should you cut bones or frozen items. The blade could bend or even break.

On the blade, in the upper half, there is a hand-worked hammer surface, called Tschuchime. It looks extremely good and also provides an air cushion between the cutting material and the blade, so you glide through the cutting material more easily.

The oval and ergonomically shaped handle is made of Pakka wood with a walnut-colored grain. It encloses a full tang, which provides perfect balance and stability. The tang ends in a stainless steel cap, in which the Tim Mälzer kitchen bull is engraved.

Each Shun Premier knife is beautifully packaged in a light wooden box.

You can find all the knives of this series in our KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Catalog. More knives, knife blocks, sharpening tools and much more from the Japanese manufacturer on our KAI Brand Page.
