Material
The dual-core blades in this series are forged using an innovative process that combines two types of steel to create a single blade with 71 layers. This results in a blend of flexible VG2 steel and extremely hard VG10 steel, which provides the blades with long-lasting edge retention and exceptional sharpness. This makes cutting ingredients effortless and ensures that food releases easily from the blade.
The grey-marbled Pakkawood handles are treated with select resins, making them extremely smooth, resilient, moisture-resistant and durable. The handle's special, symmetrical design allows for excellent handling and supports the knife's stability during use. Thanks to the seamless transition of the bolster and forged end cap, the knives are ideally counterbalanced for optimal cutting performance.
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.
