Santoku knife Kai Tim Malzer "Shun Premier" series, 18 cm blade

Renowned German chef Tim Malzer has partnered with the exceptional craftsmanship of Japanese knife maker Kai to present the "Shun Premier" series.

A true Japanese equivalent of the Western chef's knife, its name means "three virtues" in reference to its excellence for cutting meat, fish and vegetables.

Tim Malzer's Shun Premier series is a resounding success with the most discerning chefs.

These knives are crafted from 32-layer hammered stainless Damascus steel with a VG-10 steel core. This premium steel, exceptionally corrosion-resistant, boasts a Rockwell hardness of 61 +/- 1, guaranteeing a long-lasting edge and outstanding cutting performance. The convex profile of the blade, combined with hand-sharpening done piece by piece, ensures remarkable cutting precision.

Finish: Hand-hammered surface using the traditional Tsuchime technique, creating micro-bubbles of air that prevent moist or sticky foods from adhering during cutting.

The elegant and robust pakkawood handle is enhanced by a bolster engraved with a bull's head, a distinctive signature of the collection. Treated with high-quality resins to be completely waterproof and hygienic.

Its symmetrical shape is suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Finally, the full tang ensures perfect balance and excellent stability during use.

Do not put in the dishwasher.
