Material
The blade combines different textures and grades of steel: the chamfered, polished bolster merges into the satined rounded blade back made of SUS420J2 steel and flows into a cutting edge made of especially hard VG 10 steel. The double-bevel blades combine a minimalistic aesthetic with high edge retention and corrosion resistance.
The fair, cross-grained pakkawood handle is seamlessly attached to the integrated tang, which is suitable for both left- and right-handed users due to its symmetrical shape. The handle is slim and light, giving it rather top-heavy and dynamic handling characteristics. The seamless transition from handle to polished bolster enables the comfortable and easy holding of the blade between thumb and forefinger.
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.
