Master Every Cut with Japanese Precision

The KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series (TDM-1706) is the ultimate multi-functional tool for professional chefs and home enthusiasts alike. Combining legendary Japanese craftsmanship with a commanding aesthetic, this 20cm Chef Knife is designed for versatile food preparation, from disjointing cuts of meat to fine vegetable work.

Exquisite Craftsmanship & Visual Detail

The blade features a stunning three-texture design. The back of the blade down to the middle is finished with a traditional ‘Tsuchime’ hammered surface, which creates air pockets to prevent food from sticking. Below the hammered finish, the 32-layer Damascus steel reveals a flowing wood-grain pattern, transitioning into a razor-sharp VG Max core edge. The handle is crafted from laminated medium-brown Pakkawood, providing a sophisticated, ergonomic, and symmetrical grip for total control.

• VG Max Core: Exceptionally hard steel core for long-lasting edge retention.
• 32-Layer Damascus Cladding: Provides strength, corrosion resistance, and a signature visual ripple effect.
• Tsuchime Finish: Hand-hammered surface for effortless food release and reduced drag.
• Ergonomic Handle: Laminated Pakkawood ensures durability, moisture resistance, and comfort.
• Made in Japan: Hand-crafted in Seki City, the historic heart of Japanese blade-making.
