In Japan, chefs who have mastered all cutting techniques, receive a special knife as a symbol of their expertise. In keeping with this tradition, this kitchen knife from the Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series was designed to meet the needs of professional chefs. Its blade is divided into three textures, featuring a hammered surface from the back to the middle of the blade that is popular in Japan. The notch at the rear end of the blade is easy to grip and ensures safe handling.
