The core of the Shun Premier blade is made of extremely hard VG-MAX steel and is sheathed in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination of different types of steel makes the cutting edge hard and flexible at the same time. The bread knife blade with KAI serrated edge is comfortable to handle thanks to its low weight and guarantees a clean and precise cut. The incorporation of a hammered surface underlies not only aesthetic reasons, but also serves the release of material from the blade thanks to the resulting air pockets.

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.
