KAI Shun Premier The Tim Mälzer Knife Series is a luxurious and high-performance series of kitchen knives that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern innovation.

Designed for those seeking knives with both aesthetic beauty and exceptional functionality, KAI Shun Premier knives are renowned for their sharpness, durability and artistic expression, making them a favorite choice among professional chefs and enthusiastic home cooks alike.

Design and Quality

The KAI Shun Premier knives are made of Damascus steel , a material that gives the knives both strength and sharpness. The series is characterized by the 34 layers of Damascus steel, which not only creates incredible hardness, but also a beautiful pattern on the blades. This layered design makes the knives not only functional, but also visually impressive.

Each knife has a core of VG-MAX steel , a high-performance steel that provides extra sharpness and long-lasting durability. VG-MAX steel is known to hold its sharpness longer than many other types of steel, making the knives very effective for precision work in the kitchen.

Handles and Ergonomics

The handle of the KAI Shun Premier knives is made of walnut wood and has a traditional "D-shape", which ensures a good and ergonomic grip. This shape is designed to minimize hand fatigue and provide better control during use.

One of the unique features of the Premier series is that the handle is connected to the blade in a beautiful and functional way. There is a nice, polished area that creates a transition between the handle and the blade, which both enhances the appearance of the knife and provides a comfortable feel in the hand.
