Material
The knife's blade is made of corrosion-resistant A 10 steel with a hardness of 60 (±1) HRC. Its cutting edge, honed to 45° on one side, ensures the extra sharpness required for extreme precision. The flat of the blade is hollow-ground to create a cushion of air between it and the material being cut. Combined with a wide and flat blade, this reduces friction to a minimum and guarantees perfect cutting results.
The handle, made of black pakkawood, appears very elegant and fits the hand perfectly. Its asymmetrical chestnut shape enables a secure and comfortable grip whilst cutting. The integrated tang provides stability and balance.
This year, KAI and Tim Mälzer are celebrating the 15th anniversary of their successful collaboration. To mark this significant milestone, we are releasing an extraordinary limited edition designed to set the hearts of cooking enthusiasts racing. The name of this anniversary knife, THE LEGEND, says it all.
With its Tantō blade, the knife establishes a direct connection to the legendary samurai of Japan. The traditional blacksmithing artistry of the Samurai continues to inform KAI knives today, combining the most modern and innovative techniques with a centuries-old tradition.
