Paring knife KAI TDM-1700, 10 cm blade, from the KAI Shun Premier series.
Use
Thanks to its small size, the KAI TDM-1700 paring knife is ideal for peeling all kinds of fruit, vegetables and tubers.
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.

Perfecto, simplemente perfecto. Corta como una cuchilla de afeitar y el filo dura mucho tiempo si se cuida bien. Para mi el peso es adecuado y el tamaño es perfecto.
Recomendable sin ninguna duda.

Primero me compré el Kai Shun Premier Chef de 20 cm y visto la calidad de estos cuchillos me anime a comprarme la puntilla. Solo puedo decir que son una autentica pasada, son preciosos y cortan exageradamente bien…
Siempre había utilizado cuchillos forjados buenos pero estos Japoneses se nota que tienen un filo especial y lo más importante, que por el tipo de acero que llevan en su núcleo duran mucho más tiempo afilados. Yo utilizo una chaira de diamante para mantener el filo en su punto.
Compra 100% recomendable. Tanto por el producto como por la atención del responsable de Cuchillalia.
