Kai Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Minamo Utility 150mm (5.9")
The Kai Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Minamo Utility 150mm is a well-balanced utility knife with a gently rounded tip, designed to excel at precise cuts on smaller ingredients such as avocados, mangoes, or chicken fillets. Its outstanding versatility allows you to handle most precision-focused kitchen tasks without reaching for a larger blade.
Perfect for beginners, home cooks, and professional kitchens alike, it handles daily prep effortlessly without compromising precision or durability. Bartenders and mixologists will appreciate its precision for clean, aesthetic cuts on fruits and garnishes, where every detail matters.
BLADE SHAPE:
The 150mm utility knife is a versatile kitchen essential, ideal for precise slicing, chopping, dicing, and julienne cuts. Its compact size offers excellent control and a comfortable grip, making it perfect for home cooks and smaller workspaces.
STEEL:
VG-XEOS is designed for high-performance cutting tools, delivering excellent sharpness, good edge retention, and corrosion resistance. It is an alloy that combines strong corrosion resistance with high hardness and wear durability. The blade hardness is approximately 62 HRC. The fine microstructure is achieved through a special melting method that improves wear resistance, strength, and quenching properties.
LAMINATION & FINISH:
The blade features a 32-layer san‑mai construction, with a VG-MAX steel core surrounded by 16 layers of softer stainless steel on each side. This lamination provides exceptional core strength while maintaining flexibility and protecting the outer layers, creating the signature wavy Damascus pattern. The polished choil and spine are smooth and free of sharp edges, ensuring comfortable and safe cutting even during extended use.
HANDLE:
A slim and elegant handle made of durable pakkawood provides a comfortable, stable grip for precise cuts and reliable, fast use. Resin in the wood improves moisture resistance and durability, while the integrated tang ensures excellent balance and prevents slipping during pinch-grip cutting.
SMITHY:
For over 115 years, KAI has combined centuries-old Japanese blacksmithing traditions with modern innovation, producing knives renowned for their precision, durability, and elegant design.
