Description
The KAI TDM-1742 nakiri knife, with a 14 cm blade, from the Shun Premier series by KAI, designed by Tim Malzer.
Use
The Japanese Nakiri knife (which translates as ‘vegetable knife‘) is designed for cutting vegetables, like the Usuba knife, but lighter.
The KAI TDM-1742 Nakiri knife is very comfortable for cutting vegetables by design: it lets you make quick movements resting the knuckles of the hand holding the food, while the knuckles of the knife hand never touch the board thanks to the blade width.
The blade
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 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.

Un gran cuchillo que me encanta para trocear cualquier alimento que requiera cortes repetitivos, como verduras en juliana, oriental, etc. Proporciona un corte de precisión sin esfuerzo debido a su impresionante filo en acero de calidad, así como a su buen agarre y reducido peso. Sospecho que me va a durar largo tiempo sin tener que afilarlo. Como inconveniente: el elevado desembolso que requiere su adquisición, pero no me parece caro teniendo en cuenta su practicidad y durabilidad; adjetivo que comparte a mi parecer con toda la familia Premier. Yo he adquirido también el Chef 23,5 cm. y el Santoku 18 cm.; y estoy enamorado de todos ellos. Ya estoy ahorrando para completar la familia Premier. Mi mejor puntuación para el exquisito servicio ofrecido por Cuchillalia, tanto por su asesoramiento, como por su logística. Altamente recomendable.

He comprado este cuchillo como regalo para mi hijo que es estudiante de cocina, quería un Nakiri. Supongo que algo entenderá de cuchillos y dice que es una autentica maravilla, tanto en equilibrio como en calidad de filo. Yo solo puedo decir que es muy bonito…
