Kai Tim Mälzer paring knife

Kai Messer Shun Premier - The Tim Mälzer Edition
KAI stands for the highest quality in cutting tools worldwide. The company, founded in 1908, has managed to satisfy customers on all continents with the combination of traditional Japanese blacksmithing, the best materials and innovative technology for decades. In Europe, KAI gained a foothold in the 1980s and since then has found increasing acceptance in professional kitchens and home cooks too. This is also evident in the cooperation between KAI and Tim Mälzer, from which the Kai Shun Premier - Tim Mälzer Edition emerged.

Handmade hammered surface
The Kai Shun Premier - Tim Mälzer Edition is something very special. It combines tradition with modernity in a unique way. The twelve blade shapes are forged from 32-layer Damascus stainless steel, a material that has been extremely popular when it comes to cutting tools for over 2000 years. The absolute highlight when processing the blades of this edition is that the knives have a hand-hammered surface and are therefore unmistakably recognizable as a manufactured product, which alone gives them a touch of historicity. This timeless charm is complemented by the solid blade core made of VG MAX steel, which gives the cutting edge an extreme degree of hardness of 61 ± 1 HRC. This makes the blade extremely resilient and a long-lasting partner when cutting cuttings.

Innovative design
The outstanding design of the blades of the Shun Premier segment is also continued with the handle. The KAI Shun Premier knives have a beautifully symmetrical handle made from walnut wood. This handpiece enables the Tim Mälzer chef's knives to be balanced and gently in your hand. Right-handed and left-handed people can easily cut the food precisely, so that these kitchen aids help every dish to perfection.

Diverse knife series
Various kitchen tools are included in the KAI Tim Mälzer Edition. Among other things, a set of 2 steak knives, a meat fork, a ham and a bread knife. There are also several chef's knives, all-purpose knives and a tournament knife, as well as an office knife. There are two Santoku and one Nakiri from the Japanese range. The Kai Shun Premier - Tim Mälzer Edition thus covers everything that is required for cutting tools for a well-functioning kitchen.

This tournament knife is also ideal as a gift for an ambitious griller or hobby cook. Put a smile on the recipient's lips.
