Kai Shun Premier bread knife 23 cm
The Kai Shun Premier bread knife belongs to the line that Kai developed with the German chef Tim Mälzer. Its 23 cm blade with KAI wavy edge is designed to cut through hard crusts without crushing the crumb.
It works equally well with a freshly baked sourdough loaf, a ciabatta or a soft sandwich loaf: the serrations grip the surface and the length of the blade lets you cut whole slices in a single motion. It is also useful for sponge cakes, brioches or firm-skinned fruit such as pineapple.
Like the rest of the Shun series, it is handmade in Seki (Japan) from damascus steel with a VG-MAX core, reaching a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC. The hammered surface characteristic of the Premier line helps stop food sticking. The mid-brown Pakkawood handle measures 12,5 cm and offers a warm, stable grip.
A piece for anyone who bakes at home or buys good bread and wants a knife to match.
