The blades are manufactured from Japanese ACUTO440 steel – a thoughtfully developed and performance-oriented evolution of classic 440 steel specifically designed for the demands of everyday kitchen use. Rather than focusing exclusively on maximum hardness, the series impresses with a balanced combination of edge retention, flexibility and ease of maintenance.
The optimised alloy creates an especially fine carbide structure, which is also a key element of the blade’s elegant appearance. The stainless steel bolster features a PVD coating. This thin, hardening layer protects the material from external influences, increases durability and gives the bolster its distinctive gold colour. The angular, faceted bolster design creates an elegant transition between blade and handle. Deep black octagonal POM handles provide excellent control, improve cutting comfort and can be cleaned effortlessly.

of the producer
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. Tim Mälzer came up with the idea to develop a combination of the typically Japanese Santoku knife and the classic European chef’s knife.
This fusion served as the basis for three distinct blade shapes. The series is distinguished by a very clear form language. The combination of a black handle with a specially designed blade embellished with a fine Damascus grain makes every knife appear like an entirely unique object.
