KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Minamo Knife
Edgy and clear, just like Tim Mälzer himself. This is how the Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Minamo series presents itself. The idea behind this series was to combine Japanese and European knife forms. Was it successful? We'll draw the conclusion later, but for now, let's focus on the facts.
VG-MAX Steel Core with 32 Layers of Damascus Steel
The blade consists of an extremely hard VG-MAX steel core (61 (±1) HRC), surrounded by 32 layers of more flexible Damascus steel. The edge is extremely finely ground, offering the highest sharpness and cutting performance. It glides through the cutting material and shows remarkable durability. Visually, the wild Damascus pattern on the blade beautifully complements the high-gloss finish of the edge.
Blade in Kamagata Shape
The blade is inspired by the Japanese Kamagata shape with the distinctive hump at the tip. The edge, however, is, as now widely spread, a hybrid of Santoku and chef's knife, with a slightly upward curved line at the tip. This allows for accurate rocking cuts as well as the so-called chop cutting technique. The edges are always double-edged.
Deep Dark Pakkawood Handle in Oval Shape
The oval and ergonomically shaped handle is made of dark, almost black pakkawood. The surface is laminated, making the handle non-slip. Additionally, the handle is resistant to liquids and meets all hygiene requirements. The full tang, which the handle encloses, is responsible for the good stability. The handle is finished with a stainless steel end cap, on which the Tim Mälzer Küchenbulle is engraved. After all, you shouldn't forget who you have to thank for this knife.
3 Blade Variants Available
Three knives with almost identical blade geometry are available. There is a short office knife with a 9 cm blade length, a medium utility knife with a 15 cm blade, and the Santoku knife with an officially 18 cm long blade. According to our measurements, the Santoku's blade is 20 cm long. But what do we know...
Wooden Box Included
Each knife of the KAI Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Minamo series is delivered in a beautiful wooden box. Although you can use it for storage, in the long run, you should choose a more reasonable and safer storage method. Ideally, where the knives are readily accessible and can be admired and marveled at by everyone.
Our Take on the Tim Mälzer Minamo Series
A promise is a promise! So let's get to our conclusion:
The knives feel good in the hand and can be guided precisely. Even over a longer period, the cutting feel remains pleasant. The very good performance of the blade material is already known, and you don't have to get used to the blade shapes for long. It works immediately, as only the spine is different. The shaping of the edge is already found in many other knives.
The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Minamo series is not a world novelty, but exactly what they should be: extremely sharp with very good durability. In application, the knives really show their top qualities. Really good work KAI & Tim Mälzer! Butch is looking forward to more of it.
