## Summary description

The Kai TDM-1722 universal knife features a 16.5 cm blade, perfect for various kitchen tasks. Its ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, while the high-quality steel blade provides durability and precision. Ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping, this knife is a must-have for any kitchen.

## Long description

The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series chef's knife blends the premium material properties of the Shun Classic line with a redesigned, professional appearance. The blade features three distinct surface textures: a hammered Tsuchime finish from the spine to mid-blade, a fine matte Damascus pattern typical of Shun, and a highly polished precision cutting edge. The blade has a hard VG-MAX steel core surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, delivering a balance of durability, sharpness and flexibility. The knife is fitted with a medium-brown grained pakkawood handle with a continuous tang and Tim Mälzer's engraved bull's head on the butt.
Advantages
The combination of a VG-MAX core and 32-layer Damascus cladding provides long-lasting sharpness and controlled flexibility. The Tsuchime-hammered surface reduces food adhesion by creating tiny air pockets along the blade. The polished cutting edge enables precise, clean cuts while the knife’s balanced full tang and ergonomically shaped pakkawood handle suit both left- and right-handed users.
Suitable for
Slicing vegetables and fruits
Chopping herbs and aromatics
Slicing boneless meats and fish
General kitchen prep and precision cutting tasks
Key specifications
Blade length: corresponds to professional chef’s-knife sizes (product line reference — see model for exact size)
Core steel: VG-MAX
Cladding: 32-layer Damascus steel
Surface finish: Tsuchime (hammered) + matte Damascus + polished edge
Handle material: grained pakkawood, medium brown
Construction: full tang, double-bevel (suitable for left and right-handed users)
How to use
Hold the knife with a comfortable grip on the pakkawood handle and use smooth, controlled cutting motions appropriate to the task — slicing, rocking, or push-cut techniques as required. Use the polished edge for clean, precise slices and allow the Tsuchime surface to help release thin food pieces during cutting. Maintain control with the knife’s balanced weight and continuous tang for stable handling throughout prep work.
Usage recommendations
Hand wash and dry immediately after use to preserve the Damascus cladding and pakkawood handle. Regular honing and occasional professional sharpening will maintain the VG-MAX core’s cutting performance. Store the knife on a magnetic strip or in a dedicated knife block to protect the edge.
