The core of the Shun Premier Tim Malzer blades is made of extremely hard VG Max steel and is encased in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination of different types of steel makes the blade hard and elastic at the same time. The symmetrically sharpened blade is light and agile and guarantees clean and precise cuts. The hammered surface, known in Japan as Tsuchime, not only has an aesthetic sense, but also facilitates, thanks to the small air gap created, the detachment of the cut food from the blade. The handles are in walnut wood. Thanks to the symmetrical shape, they are suitable for both right and left handed users. The through tang ensures stability and balance during cutting. As a particular detail, the end of the handle is engraved with Tim Malzer's bull's head, symbol of the elite of chefs. In this set you will find: - n. 1 Kitchen knife with serrated damask blade of cm. 16.5 Kai SHUN PREMIER Series - n. 1 Chef's knife with damask blade cm. 20 Kai SHUN PREMIER Series

What characterises the Kai Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series?
The Kai Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series, developed in collaboration with chef Tim Mälzer, combines artisanal aesthetics with professional performance. The blades feature a VG-MAX steel core clad with 32 layers of Damascus steel, with a hardness of around 61 HRC, ensuring excellent edge retention and cutting precision. The upper part of the blade features the characteristic hammered Tsuchime finish, which helps reduce food sticking during cutting. The brown pakkawood handle, ergonomically shaped, provides stability, comfort and excellent balance.

How do you properly sharpen a Japanese knife?
Whetstone sharpening is ideal: a medium grit for maintenance and a finer grit for finishing, adapting the choice to the steel and usage.
