Shun Premier 230 mm Bread Knife

The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer knives from KAI are a premium series of knives for both enthusiasts and professionals. The hallmarks are high quality and finish, good cutting properties and a particularly comfortable handle.

The key is of course the functional ones, but it has nevertheless resulted in a visually impressive knife with many details such as the beaten tsuchime surface on the upper half of the blade, the clear transitions between the 65 layers of steel the knife is forged from. The stock, which is made of American walnut wood, is also pampered.

The knife here is a 23 cm bread knife, and it is equipped with the special split blade we know from all bread knives from KAI. This means concretely that the teeth point forward from the center of the blade forwards and opposite from the center back - you can best see this in the first picture of the knife. It gives some very clean, neat cuts where the bread does not fray when you break the crust.

Premier is a series of knives with a relatively thin blade that has good cutting properties and is relatively light.
