Part of the chef-designed Kai Shun Premier series, which is equally suitable for left- and right-handed users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---DETAILS---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenowned Japanese knifemakers Kai Shun teamed up with German chef Tim Mälzer to create the Kai Shun Premier range, featuring multi-textured steel blades that are both hard and flexible at once, plus symmetrical wooden handles that are suitable for both left- and right-handed cooks. In this series, every blade's back down to its middle has been hand-hammered \u2028to create an effect known as ‘tsuchime’; in addition to looking beautiful, these air pockets prevent food from sticking to the knife as you prep. The core of hard VG MAX steel is surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel and forged in a steep V-shape that provides incredible durability, sharpness, and edge retention. A continuous tang in the handle ensures stability and balance when cutting, and the overall lightness of the knife makes it a joy to use. This set of three essential knives—plus a sharpening stone and gorgeous walnut block that both protects them well and displays them beautifully—will become the cornerstone of your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/kai-shun-premier-santoku\"\u003eKai Shun Premier Santoku Knife 16.5cm \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/kai-shun-premier-paring-knife-9cm\"\u003eKai Shun Premier Paring Knife\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/products\/kai-shun-premier-tomato-knife\"\u003eKai Shun Premier Tomato Knife \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/products\/kai-seki-magoroku-combination-whetstone-1000-4000\"\u003eKai Seki Magoroku Combination Whetstone 1000\/4000\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/kai-stonehenge-walnut-knife-block-with-stainless-steel-base\"\u003eKai Stonehenge Walnut Knife Block\u003c\/a\u003e with a stainless steel base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRead our Japanese knife care guide \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/blogs\/news\/japanese-knife-care-guide\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---BENEFITS---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'A professional chef’s input has helped make a knife all avid cooks will greatly appreciate, like the air pockets and comfortable, tarnish-proof handle that looks good as new even after heavy use—because Kai Shun Premier knives are made to be used heavily, staying sharp for long stretches of time.
