The Kai Shun Premier knives in the Tim Mälzer series combine KAI’s renowned and distinctive Damascus-layered metal construction with a hand-hammered surface design on the knife. This hand-hammered embellishment is known as Tshuchime in Japan and combines the exquisite aesthetic qualities of this knife with its exceptional sharpness.

The **Kai Shun Tim Mälzer-Santoku 18 cm** was designed by top chef Tim Mälzer. The Santoku is a chef’s knife from Japan. In Japan the knife is mostly used to prepare sushi. This knife shouldn’t be missing from your kitchen. All in all a stunning, functional knife to love.


## Kai Shun Tim Mälzer blade


The Kai Shun Tim Mälzer knives are enhanced with Kai’s famous Damascus layered steel construction, combined with a very hard core made from VG-MAX steel. The blade is hammered by hand according to Japanese tradition. This technique is called tsuchime. It not only leaves you with a razor-sharp knife and a stunning design, it also makes sure nothing sticks to the blade. The core of the blade is enhanced with 32 layers of stainless damascus steel on the outside. The hardness of these knives is 61 ±1 HRC, which is exceptionally hard. As such this knife retains its sharpness for a long time. The handle is made from brown walnut wood and feels great in hand.


## Kai Shun: maintenance and cleaning


To make sure the Kai Sun Tim Mälzer knives retain their sharpness there are some things to take into account. If you want to learn more about maintaining Japanese knives please check out our article about [maintaining a Japanese kitchen knife](/en/ct/use-and-maintenance-of-japanese-kitchen-knives.htm )

## Japanese craftsmanship and German decency


A famous saying from tv-chef Tim Mälzer formed the basis for developing this collection of kitchen knives. He said: ‘A good knife doesn’t only make your job easier, it also determines the result.’ As such each knife in this collection, from bread knife to santoku, is produced as a professional cutting tool. Each blade shape is amazing to use thanks to the remarkable symmetrical shape of the handle. Perfect for both left and right-handed use.

Ultieme precisie en een streling voor het oog. A true work of art.

Bin sehr überrascht über die Schärfe . Es ist kein vergleich gegen ein normale Messer. Das schneiden macht richtig Spaß. Für mich Top !!!!!

Beautiful knife that makes a great present because of the exquisite design and blade style. Pricey, but worth it! It arrived well packaged and sharp.... But can be sharpened a great deal more, so don't be disheartened on first impressions.

Bel objet au tranchant efficace mais épaisseur du manche plus importante que prévue, et différente des autres modèles Shun Premier T.M.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
