Material
At the core, the blades of the Kaname are made of an extremely hard VG Xeos steel with a hardness of 60-62 (±1) HRC, which is itself sheathed in two layers of stainless steel. This special manufacturing method creates a thin cutting edge of excellent and long-lasting sharpness that reduces food resistance during use and ensures smooth and precise cuts.
We gathered feedback and the experience of kitchen professionals and end users to create the best possible design of the handle. The result is an intricately handcrafted black-grained pakka wood handle with a seamless transition from handle to bolster. Its octagonal, ergonomic shape offers good control when cutting, while the knife lies securely and comfortably in the hand.
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.
