TDM1702 TIM MALZER Santoku KNIFE 18cm KAI JAPAN

The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer bladeThe core of the Shun Premier blade is made of extremely hard VG Max steel and is encasedin 32 layers of Damascus steel.

This combination of different steel grades makes the blade both hardand flexible.

The double-sided blade is easy to use because it is lightweightand guarantees a clean and precise cut.

The hammered surface - known in Japan as Tsuchime - is used not only for aesthetic reasons,but also because it facilitates the removal of material from the blade,thanks to the small pockets of air which result.
