The new Shi Hou 5 by KAI is a fascinating collector’s piece that embodies elegant form and the exceptional standards of Japanese forging craftsmanship. Strictly limited to just 77 pieces worldwide, this handcrafted edition impresses with an extraordinary, highly detailed design and premium-quality materials. The 30 cm blade impresses with a combination of hammered detailing and fine Damascus pattern, while the handle stands out visually thanks to its unique twisted spiral design featuring Corian elements.
In a world of abundance, uniqueness becomes a conscious choice.
With the new motif under the guiding principle Stay Rare, we and Tim Mälzer once again reaffirm our shared values and set a clear focus on the future.
The tantō knife TDM-1785 is limited to 6,666 pieces worldwide and was already awarded the German Design Award in February.
The new Shun Classic Red DM-0717RD will soon be released as a special highlight. The exclusive, large Santoku combines the proven qualities of the Shun Classic series with a new, elegant red-grained pakkawood handle as a limited edition. The knife is limited to just 3,000 pieces worldwide.
The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Minamo series forms an exquisitely elegant and individual addition to the premium class of the Shun Premier Series of knives. The series unites Japanese and European elements in an especially artful manner. The series' name originates from this fine grain, which is reminiscent of water's surface rippling in the rain (Jap.: Minamo).
Compact, efficient and intuitive to use, the NEW EDGE sharpener (SK-S1) ensures that knives quickly regain their full performance.
With this range of knives, Michel Bras and KAI have created a meticulously designed set of tools: each blade has been developed for a specific purpose and combines French culinary philosophy with Japanese precision.
KAI presents the second edition of the Sekimagoroku Master Line with Migaki. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of traditional samurai swords (katana), these knives are characterised by their pronounced curvature and elegant Damascus pattern, reminiscent of a rippling water surface.
Elegant and individual. Tim Mälzer came up with the idea to develop a combination of the typically Japanese Santoku knife and the classic European chef’s knife.
The series forms an addition to the premium class of the Shun Premier Series of knives and received the Red Dot Award 2018 and the German Design Award 2019.
The name of our premium brand Seki Magoroku goes back to a famous Japanese swordsmith from the city of Seki in the middle of the Muromachi period (around 1336-1573). Seki is regarded as the former centre of samurai swordsmithing and is today also the proud production site for our SHOSO solid steel knife series with 15 blade shapes. Here in Seki, the tradition of well-known master swordsmiths lives on: "Craftsmanship and the spirit of famous swords are passed on from generation to generation".
