The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer knives from KAI are a premium series of knives for both enthusiasts and professionals. The hallmarks are high quality and finish, good cutting properties and a particularly comfortable handle.
The key is of course the functional ones, but it has nevertheless resulted in a visually impressive knife with many details such as the beaten tsuchime surface on the upper half of the blade, the clear transitions between the 65 layers of steel the knife is forged from. The stock, which is made of American walnut wood, is also pampered.
The knife here is a 9 cm herb knife. It is suitable for perfectly fine cutting tasks in herbs and other greens, and can also be used for trimming meat.
Premier is a series of knives with a relatively thin blade that has good cutting properties and is relatively light.

The knives from the family behind Moritaka are probably the ones whose history can be traced very far back. The story begins all the way back in the year 1293, when the master blacksmith with the apt name Kongouhyoueminamotono Moritaka forged swords for the Buddhist monk at Mt. Houman in Dazaifu, Fukuoka.
In the subsequent 13 generations, the tradition of producing swords for the monks continued, and these swords went on to acquire a rather unique status in the liberation struggle.
As time went on from weapon production, the focus shifted to the kitchen knives we know today. A knife from Moritaka is thus forged according to the traditions and with the techniques known from the iconic katanas.
Today, Hamone Moritake - the master smith at Moritaka - also occasionally forges katana swords, but the vast majority of production results in kitchen knives. A knife from Moritaka is also quite recognizable.
Most are forged in blue steel, especially often in the alloy aogami-2. The knives also have a relatively rustic appearance because the surfaces of the blades are not ground completely smooth and because all the knives receive a so-called kurouchi treatment.
This treatment is what gives the knives their dark color. It is an oil that is applied to the metal when it is hot. This also means that it is not a permanent treatment. It gets a patina, and the oil will disappear over time as you wash the knife after use.
Moritaka enjoys a special status with us, as we are very fond of the small family forges that make some things that are a little out of the ordinary.
Moritaka is also among the very sharpest knives we carry, but that also means that you, as the owner, must take particularly good care of the knife.
In general
All product photos are real photos of the specific products. However, some photos have added interiors and surroundings created using artificial intelligence to create atmosphere and put the product into context.
Regarding Woodworks
We aim to continuously expand the catalog so that sizes and designs are best illustrated in the webshop.
There are not photos of all variants and sizes, so the photo that appears when choosing a variant in the webshop mainly reflects only the type of wood - not necessarily size or other variations in the design.
NOTE that we always try to create unique wooden products with an exciting visual expression. You must therefore take our product photos as a guide and not as a guarantee of how the finished product appears in terms of year drawings and color play.

If you have questions about the choice of design, sizes, colors or type of wood - or if you have special wishes, you are always very welcome to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk and get your questions clarified before you order.
