Product details

For the groundbreaking Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series, Kai developed additional knives made from 32 layers of corrosion-resistant Damascus steel. These are refined with a hand-hammered surface known as Tsuchime in Japan, combining timeless aesthetics with ultimate sharpness. The blades feature a solid core made of VG Max steel with a hardness of 61±1 HRC. The Shun Premier steak knife set includes two steak knives. This set is ideal as a gift. The hand-hammered surface of the blades is a real eye-catcher, and the elegant walnut wood handle provides a good grip while cutting.

Glückwunsch an das Kai Shun Premier aus der Serie von Tim Mälzer, denn dieses ist das beste Santokumesser im Vergleich. Diesen Platz verdient sich das Modell in erster Linie durch seine überragende Schnittqualität. Auch in anderen Teilpunkten gibt es sehr gute Bewertungen, so etwa für die hohe Beständigkeit der Klinge gegen Risse sowie gegen Brüche...
