KAI Santoku Knife 18 cm Tim Malzer Kamagata TMK-0702

The Tim Mälzer Kamagata knife series impresses with its high standards of functionality, robust quality, and minimalist aesthetics. With its well-designed style, this knife series focuses on the essentials needed for efficient kitchen work. At the start of the multi-year production process in Japan, Tim Mälzer designed the initial shape of the knife himself. The stylish curve of the blade gives the knives their characteristic outline. The name "Kamagata" (Japanese for "sickle shape") comes from this distinctive shape. The blades are made of stainless steel with a polished finish. In combination with the black handle, the knives have an efficient, attractive appearance and guarantee a perfect grip and ergonomic features. The Tim Mälzer Kamagata series provides the right knife for every purpose..

The Santoku knife is a utility knife that in Japanese means "three virtues", since it can be used for meat, fish, and vegetables. Its tip is sharper than the chef's knife, and its blade length is ideal for chopping even on the kitchen counter, where space is usually narrower. Its light weight makes it comfortable and relaxing even after long hours of use.

Blade:

The attractively designed blade is made of 4116 stainless steel. It has a hardness of 56 (±1) HRC and is therefore rust-resistant. Tim Mälzer's logo and personal signature are applied to the blade and, together with the polished finish, complete the exclusive and high-quality appearance.

Handle:

The polished handle has an ergonomic shape and its symmetrical alignment makes it ideal for both right- and left-handed users. It fits perfectly in the hand and provides a secure and comfortable grip when working. The perfect balance between the handle and the blade makes cutting a particularly smooth experience. Made of polished polyoxymethylene (POM), the handle is water-resistant and easy to maintain. The Tim Mälzer "bull in the kitchen" logo adorns the back of the handle, adding a sophisticated highlight.
