Kai Shun Premier Peeling Knife

A durable, precision-minded Japanese peeling knife, ideal for working with round fruits and vegetables. Part of the chef-designed Kai Shun Premier series, which is equally suitable for left- and right-handed users.

---DETAILS---

Renowned Japanese knifemakers Kai Shun teamed up with German chef Tim Mälzer to create the Kai Shun Premier range, featuring symmetrical wooden handles that are suitable for both left- and right-handed cooks. The core of hard VG MAX steel is surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel and forged in a steep, tapered 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 peeling knife is ideal for peeling fruit and vegetables without taking away too much of the nutrients right beneath the skin.

---BENEFITS---

‘A professional chef’s input has helped make a knife all avid cooks will greatly appreciate, like the 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. The engraved bull’s head at the bottom adds a nice, subtle touch.’
