Another guarantee for the incomparable sharpness of the Kai Shun bread knife is the convex grind of the blade and the manual honing, which allow the Kai bread knife to glide effortlessly through even the most difficult cuts. This sharpness, coupled with the balanced weight of the knife, allows fatigue-free work. The refinement of the naturally beautiful Damascus grain gives the Kai Shun bread knife its unique and individual character, to which the handle made of laminated, black-brown pakka wood (Japanese pine) also contributes.

Wash after each use without aggressive detergent and dry well with a soft cloth. Do not leave the Kai Shun bread knife in the water for too long and never put it in the dishwasher! Rub the handle from time to time with a wood care oil or neutral vegetable oil. It is best to use wooden boards or plastic cutting mats with medium strength as a cutting surface, glass or granite slabs will ruin the cutting edge even with the hardest steel.

The waves of the blade run outwards from the center of the knife in the opposite direction. As a result, the bread is not torn, but cut perfectly with every movement. This reduces the crumbling of the bread during cutting to a minimum. For the trend-setting Shun Premier Tim M?lzer series, KAI developed six more knives made of 32 layers of corrosion-resistant Damascus steel. This is refined with a hand-finished Carvingmered surface, known in Japan as Tsuchime, thus combining timeless aesthetics and ultimate sharpness. The blades have a solid core made of VG-10 steel with a hardness of 61?1 HRC. Analogous to the limited anniversary knife, the series also placed emphasis on optimal grip in addition to extreme hardness. The Shun Premier Tim M?lzer series offers professional cutting tools from bread knives to Santoku, which will set new standards in the premium segment with maximum functionality in a timeless design.\n\u003cbr\u003eTrue to Tim M?lzer's premise: \"A good knife not only makes work easier, but also helps to succeed\", each of the carefully crafted Damascus knives has been meticulously tailored to its respective area of application by the Japanese blacksmiths from Seki City. Due to the particularly symmetrical shape of their walnut handle, all shapes also guarantee precise cutting performance for both right- and left-handed people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKAI BREAD KNIFE 22.5 CM, TIM M?LZER - CARE\n\u003cbr\u003eThe best care of Kai Tim M?lzer knives is to rinse under hot water immediately after use. Then dry carefully with a soft tea towel (cotton). Kai Tim M?lzer knives are not dishwasher safe, as the salts of the cleaning agents damage the blades and wooden handles.
