The KAI Shun Premier Limited Set 2025 is an exclusive trio for those who appreciate perfection in sharpness, care, and craftsmanship. This meticulously assembled set consists of a 20 cm chef's knife , a combination whetstone (300/1000 grit) , and a sharpening guide – the ideal combination for precise work and long-lasting blade sharpness.

This chef's knife impresses with its high-quality blade made of VG-MAX steel , encased in 32 layers of Damascus steel . This construction combines hardness and flexibility, giving the blade a distinctive texture.

The ergonomic handle, crafted from medium-brown pakkawood, sits comfortably in the hand thanks to its symmetrical shape and is equally suitable for left- and right-handed users. A full tang ensures optimal balance and stability while cutting. As a special detail, the end of the handle is engraved with Tim Mälzer's bull's head – a symbol of passion, quality, and culinary excellence.

Clean

Rinse the knife with hot water before first use. After each use, clean it with mild dish soap, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Immediate cleaning is especially recommended after cutting acidic foods.

Always wipe the blade from the back of the knife towards the edge to protect yourself. Knives should not be put in the dishwasher – hand washing preserves the sharpness and maintains the material quality.

Sharpening & Maintenance

Avoid leaving knives with wooden handles in water for extended periods. Regularly treat the handle and blade with neutral vegetable oil or camellia oil . For a consistently sharp edge, use the included combination whetstone with 300/1000 grit. The included sharpening guide helps you maintain the optimal sharpening angle. Honing steels are not suitable due to the high hardness of the blade.

Storage

Store your knife so that the blade does not come into contact with other metallic objects. Safe storage in a knife block , a wooden insert , on a magnetic strip , or in a blade guard in a drawer is recommended.
