Shun Premier Chefs Knife

£251.00

The Shun Premier blade’s core fashioned from extremely hard VG Max steel and is enveloped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination of different steel grades makes the blade both hard and flexible at once. The double-sided blade is easy to use because it its light weight and guarantees a clean and precise cut. The incorporation of a hammered surface underlies not only aesthetic reasons, but also serves the release of material from the blade thanks to the resulting air pockets.

Thanks to its symmetrical shape, it is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. A continuous tang ensures stability and balance whilst cutting. As a special touch, the handle’s end has been engraved with Tim Mälzer’s bull’s head, the professional chef’s trademark.

Blade: 8″ (20 cm), Handle: 12,5 cm
