Kai Shun Premier Set Nakiri & Sanding Voucher Tim Mälzer

KAI Shun Premier Limited Set 2025 – Nakiri 14 cm × Grinding voucher

The KAI Shun Premier Limited Set 2025 is an exclusive special edition for connoisseurs of the finest Japanese cutting craftsmanship. It combines the elegant Nakiri knife (14 cm) with a sharpening voucher – a high-quality duo for precise cutting and lasting sharpness. This set represents masterful craftsmanship, exquisite materials, and functional aesthetics.

The core of the Shun Premier blade is made of extremely hard VG-MAX steel and encased in 32 layers of Damascus steel . The result is a blade that is both hard and flexible – perfect for fine, controlled cuts. The double-beveled edge ensures effortless work with vegetables, meat, or fish, while the characteristic hammered finish is not only visually appealing but also reduces food sticking.

The medium-brown Pakkawood handle is ergonomically shaped and fits comfortably in the hand. Its symmetrical design makes it ideal for both left- and right-handed users. The full tang provides the knife with stability and balance. A special detail: the end of the handle features a fine engraving of Tim Mälzer's bull's head – a stylish symbol of professional culinary art.

Clean

Rinse the knife with hot water before first use. After use, clean it with a mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. The knife should be cleaned immediately, especially after cutting acidic foods.

Always wipe the blade from the back of the knife towards the edge to protect yourself and the surface. Knives should never be put in the dishwasher – handwashing preserves their sharpness and extends their lifespan.

Sharpening & Maintenance

For knives with wooden handles, it's important not to leave them in water for too long. Regularly treat the handle and blade with neutral vegetable oil or camellia oil . To maintain the sharpness, regular honing with a whetstone is recommended. Sharpening steels are unsuitable due to the high hardness of the steel.

Storage

Store the knife so that the blade does not come into contact with other metallic objects. Ideally, store it in a knife block , a wooden insert , on a magnetic strip , or in a blade guard in a drawer. This will keep the blade optimally protected and permanently sharp.
