Description
Chef’s knife KAI TDM-1706, 20 cm blade, from the KAI Shun Premier Tim Malzer series.
Use
The chef’s knife is the most-used knife in the kitchen. It has no single specific job — rather, it is an all-rounder. It is used to cut, dice or slice meat, poultry, fish and vegetables. This KAI TDM-1706 chef’s knife has a 20 cm blade and is an essential kitchen tool, used in practically every recipe.
The blade
The KAI Shun Premier Tim Malzer knives are forged by the master smiths of the Japanese city of Seki in 32-layer Damascus steel, with a hand-hammered finish known as Tsuchime.

The core of the blade is VG-MAX steel, with a hardness rating of 61±1 HRC.
Tim Malzer’s KAI Shun Premier series provides professional cutting tools that set new standards in the high-end segment, delivering exceptional results and a timeless design.
The handle
The handle of the KAI Shun Premier Tim Malzer knives is walnut wood, and the result makes this piece a true work of art.
This KAI Shun Premier series stays true to Tim Malzer‘s principle that a good knife not only makes work easier but also helps you enjoy it. Each Damascus steel knife is crafted with the utmost care and specially adapted for precise use by the Japanese master smiths of Seki. Its symmetry ensures optimal, comfortable use and great precision for right- and left-handers alike.

Presentation
The KAI Shun Premier knife series is supplied in a wooden box with usage and care instructions.

Hoy mismo me ha llegado, todavía no lo hemos probado pero sólo puedo decir que es espectacular.
Es un regalo para mi pareja y le ha encantado, rebosa calidad y además es una preciosidad, pero miedo me da, podría afeitarme con el.
El trato de Cuchillalia ejemplar!!!
Muy contentos con la compra!!!
Francisco Pooley –
Cuchillalia me sorprendió por la rapidez de entrega, en dos días ya tenía al cartero tocando mi puerta, exelente. Volveré a confiar en cuchillalia cuando compre otro cuchillo, además que era la opción más barata que encintré.
El cuchillo Kai Shun….es un bisturí, además es hermoso. Llevaba investigando unos meses sobre el mejor cuchillo calidad precio y éste es sin duda el mejor actualmente.
