## Long description

The KAI Shun Nakiri knife KAI TDM-1742 features a 14 cm steel blade engineered for precise vegetable cutting. Derived from the Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Series design language, the blade combines a hard VG-MAX core with multiple outer layers of Damascus-style steel, a hammered Tsuchime texture on the spine and a highly polished cutting edge. The handle is medium-brown grained pakkawood with a full tang and a symmetrical shape suitable for left- and right-handed users.
Advantages
The construction with a hard VG-MAX steel core wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus-style steel delivers a balance of edge retention and flexibility. The hammer-forged Tsuchime surface helps reduce sticking of sliced material, and the lightweight, double-bevel blade allows clean, precise cuts. The pakkawood handle provides stability and ergonomic comfort during extended use.
Suitable for
