## Long description

The Kai Shun Premier T.Mälzer TDM-1702 Santoku knife is a premium 18 cm kitchen tool designed to meet the rigorous standards of professional chefs. This knife features a sophisticated blade construction with a core of extremely hard VG Max steel, enveloped in 32 layers of Damascus steel, providing exceptional sharpness and long-lasting cutting performance. The blade surface is uniquely finished with a hammered Tsuchime texture, which helps reduce friction and prevents food from sticking during use.
Advantages
The combination of high-quality materials ensures that the blade remains both hard and flexible, allowing for clean and precise cuts. The ergonomic, symmetrical pakkawood handle provides a comfortable grip for both left- and right-handed users, while the continuous tang design offers superior balance and stability. The aesthetic appeal of the Damascus grain paired with the hammered finish makes this knife a functional and visually striking addition to any kitchen.
Suitable for
Slicing meat and fish
Dicing vegetables
General precision cutting tasks
When it may not be suitable
This knife is not intended for heavy-duty tasks such as chopping through bones, frozen foods, or extremely hard ingredients, as these actions may damage the fine cutting edge. It is also not recommended for use in a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can compromise the integrity of the wooden handle and the sharpness of the blade.
Key specifications
Blade length: 18 cm
Blade material: VG Max steel core with 32 layers of Damascus steel
Handle material: Grained pakkawood
Design: Symmetrical handle for left- and right-handed use

How to use
To use the Santoku knife effectively, hold the handle firmly and use a rocking or slicing motion depending on the ingredient. The hammered Tsuchime finish assists in releasing food from the blade, allowing for a smooth workflow. Always use the knife on a wooden or plastic cutting board to maintain the sharpness of the edge. After use, wash the knife by hand with mild detergent and dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion.

Not suitable for cutting frozen items or bones
Professional-grade maintenance is recommended to preserve edge quality
Usage recommendations: To maintain the longevity and performance of your Kai Shun Premier knife, store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip. Regularly hone the blade to keep it sharp, and avoid using glass or stone cutting surfaces which can dull the edge prematurely.
