For the Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series, Kai has developed five additional knives made to resist corrosion with 32 layers of damask steel. The blades are embellished with a manual hammering on the surface, which in Japan is known as Tsuchime, thus combining timeless aesthetic qualities with exceptional sharpness. The blades have a solid core of VG-10 steel with a hardness of 61 ± 1 HRC. In analogy to the knife of the 30 years of limited Kai anniversary, great importance has also been attached in this series for knives to offer optimal grip and extraordinary hardness.

FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks.
However, the ideal choice depends on several factors:
Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade.
Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade.
Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency.
In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?
It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?
Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
