The Kai Shun Premier knives in the Tim Mälzer series combine KAI’s renowned and distinctive Damascus-layered metal construction with a hand-hammered surface design on the knife. This hand-hammered embellishment is known as Tshuchime in Japan and combines the exquisite aesthetic qualities of this knife with its exceptional sharpness.

The **Kai Shun Tim Mälzer bread knife 23 cm** was designed by top chef Tim Mälzer. With this knife you can easily cut through all types of bread. Hard crust, soft crust or soft buns: a piece of cake for this amazing knife. This knife isn't just limited to bread, though. This knife can also be used to cut cakes or hard vegetables and fruit. Think, for instance, of cutting the hard skin of pumpkins or melons. But also peeling or cutting a celeriac is no problem at all. As a result this knife can handle a lot more than just bread. All in all, a beautiful, functional knife to be loved.

The Kai Tim Mälzer knives are enhanced with KAI's famous damask layered metal structure, combined with a very strong core of VG10 steel. The core of the blade is on the outside enhanced with 32 layers of stainless damask steel. The hardness of these blades is 61 ±1 HRC, which is exceptionally hard. As such this knife retains its sharpness for a very long time. The handle is made from brown walnut wood and feels very comfortable in hand. 

## Kai Shun knife: how does the maintenance and cleaning work?

To make sure the Kai Tim Mälzer knives stay sharp for a long time and to enjoy them for as long as possible, there are a number of things to keep in mind. If you want to learn more we recommend reading our article about maintaining a Japanese kitchen knife.

## Kai Shun Tim Mälzer: a stunning combination of Japanese craftsmanship and European ergonomics.

"A good knife not only illuminates the work, but also partly determines the result". This phrase by Tim Mälzer formed the basis for the development of the Kai Tim Mälzer premier collection. From bread knife to Santoku, the collection is designed as a professional cutting tool that, thanks to the combination of optimum functionality and timeless design, perfectly matches the premium segment. The particularly symmetrical shape of the handle ensures perfect cutting properties for both left- and right-handed use.

Uiterst mooi design produkt die ons stokbrood snijd in gewenste moten

Geweldig (brood) mes, aanvulling van mijn verzameling Tim malzer set 
Het mes is zo scherp dat het bijna gevaarlijk is om te gebruiken 😁😁

Excellent knife. Beautiful craftsmanship and it does the job well. Nice fine blade with enough of a tooth to get through even the toughest sourdough. 
Like my others, this shun knife is worth splashing out for.

Het mes is scherp en houdt de scherpte langer dan mijn (ook prima) 20 jaar oude Zwilling Prof. S set.
Ik vind deze Shun messen zeer fraai afgewerkt.
De messen zijn lichter in gewicht dan mijn Zwilling set en liggen mij wat beter in de hand.
Deze messen zijn gekocht als een blikvanger en bruikbaar sieraad aan mijn keukenmuur. Daarom had ik het geld er voor over.

Top product dat goed bij mijn reeds aanwezige Tim Mälzer messen past. Een genot om vers brood ermee te snijden.

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

Dimensions & 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.
