KAI Damascus Peeling Knife 5 cm Shun Premier Tim Malzer TDM-1715

The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series is created specifically to meet the needs and demands of professional chefs. In this exceptional line, the high quality materials of the Shun Classic series are combined with a bold and innovative appearance. The blade displays three distinct textures.

This refined blade is paired with a brown Pakkawood handle, offering durability, comfort, and a sophisticated look. The extremely hard and resilient steel core provides outstanding sharpness and long lasting cutting performance, making the series perfectly suited for demanding culinary environments.
