PEELING KNIFE The peeling knife is mainly used for peeling fruit and vegetables. Its ease of use also makes it a good all-purpose knife that can be used for all small jobs. The bird's beak shape is best suited for peeling and removing cores.
COLLABORATING WITH A TOP CHEF The SHUN PREMIER TIM MÄLZER series takes into account the needs and requirements of professional chefs. The knife manufacturer KAI produced this premium series together with the German chef TIM MÄLZER. In addition to the focus on design, special emphasis was placed on stability and durability - underpinned by first-class materials.
In this premium series, the blade is given different textures: The 5.5 cm long blade has been hammered to the centre of the blade to obtain a surface that is a household name among connoisseurs as "Tsuchime".
BLADE & CORE The core of the VG MAX steel is surrounded by 32 layers of finely matt Damascus steel of varying quality. This gives the 3.2 cm wide blade a slight flexibility without losing hardness or cutting strength. With its hardness of 61 HRC and low weight, the knife is easy to use and guarantees a clean and precise cut.
HANDLE The carefully machined blade is combined with a symmetrical handle made of grained Pakkawood. The tang helps to maintain balance while cutting. To round off the look, the bull's head, Tim Mälzer's trademark, has been engraved into the end of the handle.
To maintain the sharpness of the blade and to protect the knife from damage, we always recommend cleaning it by hand with washing-up liquid and hot water and then drying it carefully. This ensures that the knife remains sharp for a long time and prevents rust. Handle sharp knives with care.
