We’ll help you cut through the confusion!

Has your endless search for the right chef's knife become dull?

The **Kai Shun Premier Tim Mälzer chef’s knife, 20 cm** is one of the many kitchen knives from the Tim Mälzer collection from the Japanese Kai. A unique collection that is characterized by a stunning blade and a striking design. Due to the blade length and height this knife is perfect when cutting vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. But also finely chopping herbs, crushing pepper corns and peeling cloves of garlic is a piece of cake. This knife is amazing to behold and amazing to use.


## Kai Shun Tim Mälzer blade


The Kai Shun Tim Mälzer knives are enhanced with Kai’s famous Damascus layered steel construction, combined with a very hard core made from VG-MAX steel. The blade is hammered by hand according to Japanese tradition. This technique is called tsuchime. It not only leaves you with a razor-sharp knife and a stunning design, it also makes sure nothing sticks to the blade. The core of the blade is enhanced with 32 layers of stainless damascus steel on the outside. The hardness of these knives is 61 ±1 HRC, which is exceptionally hard. As such this knife retains its sharpness for a long time.


## Kai Shun Tim Mälzer handle


The handle feels great in hand, both for left and right-handed users. A stunning detail is the Tim Mälzer logo at the end of the handle. All-in all a stunning, functional knife to love.


## Kai Shun: maintenance and cleaning


To make sure the Kai Sun Tim Mälzer knives retain their sharpness there are some things to take into account. If you want to learn more about maintaining Japanese knives please check out our article about [maintaining a Japanese kitchen knife](/en/ct/use-and-maintenance-of-japanese-kitchen-knives.htm )

## Japanese craftsmanship and German decency


A famous saying from tv-chef Tim Mälzer formed the basis for developing this collection of kitchen knives. He said: ‘A good knife doesn’t only make your job easier, it also determines the result.’ As such each knife in this collection, from bread knife to santoku, is produced as a professional cutting tool. Each blade shape is amazing to use thanks to the remarkable symmetrical shape of the handle. Perfect for both left and right-handed use.

Dit mes is zn geld meer dan waard. Alleen al om de reactie van mn zoon, zo blij is hij met dit mes. Hij wil er alleen maar mee werken. Het mes is mooi om te zien, de kwaliteit straalt er vanaf en ligt lekker in de hand. Dit is een mes voor het leven.

Schitterend mes om te zien. Zeer mooi afgewerkt en lekker in balans. Het mes is lichter van mijn Duitse koksmes en dat was even wennen. Het staal is harder waardoor het ook wat dunner kan zijn. Door bovenstaande eigenschappen kun je er heel precies mee snijden. En natuurlijk is het vlijmscherp. 

Super couteau!
Offert par mon fils à son frère cuisto, magnifique couteau, il coupe très très fort 

Ob das eine "Tim Mälzer-Kollektion" ist oder eine von Jim Knopf, ist mir egal. Ich wollte ein Messer mit 2 x 15 °-Schliff, aus wertigem Material für den beidhändigen Einsatz als Allround-Kochmesser. Bin bisher absolut zufrieden

General information

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.
