KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Santoku Knife 14 cm

The KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Santoku (14 cm) features a VG-10 core encased in 32 layers of hand-forged Damascus steel. Designed for versatile food preparation, its 140 mm edge is well-suited for slicing vegetables, meat, and fish. Its shorter length makes it more agile than a standard chef's knife, providing better precision for delicate tasks, while the classic Santoku shape allows for efficient chopping and dicing.

The walnut handle offers a durable and moisture-resistant grip. With an overall length of 270 mm, the knife is balanced between the blade and the bolster. To protect the natural materials, the knife must be washed by hand and dried immediately; it is not dishwasher-safe. Tim Mälzer designed this range to combine traditional Japanese forging methods with modern kitchen requirements, and every knife is produced in Japan to maintain high standards of craftsmanship.

• Tsuchime-hammered blade surface – the hammered finish creates air pockets to reduce friction and prevent food from sticking.
• Symmetrical handle geometry – comfortable for both right- and left-handed users.
• VG-10 stainless steel core – provides high hardness for long-lasting edge retention.
• Ergonomic handle – shaped to support a natural grip and minimize fatigue during use.
• Damascus pattern – the 32-layer forged steel construction gives each blade a unique appearance.
