KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Chef's Knife 20 cm - Damascus Steel - Pakkawood Handle
KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series Chef's Knife 20 cm / Handle made of dark Pakkawood
There it is, the most important companion of a chef, the chef's knife. Why is that? Because with a chef's knife, 90% of all cutting tasks can be done. The 20 cm long, tapered blade is versatile. The thickness of the blade gives the chef's knife enormous stability and the fine edge allows for highly precise cuts. The KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Chef's Knife is truly one of the best knives in its class.
The 20 cm long blade of the KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Chef's Knife consists of a VG-Max steel core, wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination gives the chef's knife enormous sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. In numbers, the blade comes in at an impressive +/- 61 HRC. An elaborate hammer-finished 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 chef's 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 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. 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 delivered securely nestled in a wooden box.
The KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series is without a doubt 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.
